خلاصه ماشینی:
the six main volumes of the series, the imposition of high costs on language learners, the failure to consider a book for teaching basic Hiragana and Katakana characters despite the preparation and arrangement of many supplementary books, and the lack of precision regarding the duration claimed by the publisher for completing the series are among the prominent weaknesses of the work.
Examples include the use of formulaic expressions for teaching grammar, the purposeful and calculated inclusion and exclusion of furigana on Kanji characters, the consideration of teaching Japanese socio-cultural components within the language teaching content of the series, attention to the phenomenon of "diglossia" in the Japanese language and teaching its various forms, the integration and application of two approaches: "audio-lingual" and "communicative" for more effective language teaching, and the alignment of the book's content with the five levels of the international JLPT exam, which are considered among the most prominent strengths of the work.
For example, just the nine items of books and supplementary materials related to the first volume, which were mentioned, based on the pricing of Senmon Kyuko Publishing on its official website, reaches a total of 30,110 Japanese Yen (approximately 273 US dollars) without considering the price of the main book, and however much a language learner wants can be seen in the lessons of the first and second volumes.
