The Complete Idiot's Guide to Japanese, Vocabulary

This is a great buy if you have a good understanding of Japanese grammar, but need to add more words to your vocabulary. Before you buy this program, listen to the Audible audio sample - the entire program sounds like that. I don't mind the "no frills" approach, but I can see how it might drive some people batty. You can also see WHAT words you will learn by previewing the PDF file that comes with this program before you buy it.

Overall, the words you will learn are very useful. There are a few "duds" like floppy disk and magnetic tape, but most of the words are worth knowing. As you can see from the PDF file, the words are only written in romanji. So if you are a person who learns with kanji, then this might not be a good fit for you.

The one thing I wish Audible could have done with this book is make the chapter markers at more convenient places. The first half of the program has chapter markers at the beginning of new lessons, which is great, but the last part of the program has random chapter markers, so it's hard to get to a specific section. The content of the program is solid though and once again, I would recommend it to someone who is looking to add more words to their Japanese vocabulary.
