First, to set the record straight, Japan indeed has changed a lot since this course was issued.I believe the course was produced in the mid-60's...Language education has changed too...That said, different people learn in different ways, and if you're not a really good "traditional text book" type learner... and have trouble with structure and focus, this course is a godsend.The method, basically are drills... repetition, substitution, response, expansion... drills that get you learning basic sentence patterns then changing the sentences around based on various cues.Another interesting point of the course is that even though grammar is explained, it is not taught separately, but rather demonstrated then integrated into the speaking/listening exercises.The title of the course is misleading: The course teaches you HOW TO SPEAK IT and HOW TO WRITE IT... however, unless things have changes, the course on writing and reading are separate.(In fact, what made this course unique was the fact that it kept speaking and listening totally separate from reading and writing -- a common problem with old courses that confused learning to read and write with learning to speak a language.)So just how far will the course get you? Well, don't expect to be able to follow the movies or TV news... you will however be able to get around with an unfortunately caveat... Japanese has become way simpler since the course was recorded a book like JAPANESE FOR BUSY PEOPLE might cut to the chase much quicker... however, it does not offer this method - - which incidentally is similar to an English Text Book by Molinsky and Bliss called SIDE BY SIDE (a book that virtually every English teacher in Japan has taught from and come to hate or love over the years.
