Please Help Contribute to the Comparison of Japanese Textbooks Table - jishera - 2012-01-21
I just created a new page in the wiki to compare the major textbooks:
http://rtkwiki.koohii.com/wiki/Comparison_of_Japanese_Textbooks_Table
I've seen something similar but it is not as detailed as I would like (http://thejapanesepage.com/w/index.php?title=Japanese_Textbook_List).
If you own one of the major textbooks, please gather the following information and then then post it in this topic, or you can also update the wiki yourself.
I only own Japanese for Everyone, so I filled out the row for it. I also filled in pieces for the other textbooks (I got most of the information from reviews and samples so if something is incorrect please let me know!).
If you have any suggestions for other criteria that should be added, or books that should be added, please update the table or post here.
Also, even though I'm a coder I'm not too familiar with wiki markup. So if you know how to make the table prettier go right ahead and edit it! It looks awful right now :-). I just wanted to get the skeleton up.
Thanks everyone!
