I'd agree with Piitaa's post on the whole although I've only listened to the Intermediate lessons. That said I only got to lesson 10 or so. The format is really good. They let you listen to a Japanese conversation then they go through the conversation again but translate it into English after each line. Then after that the focus on some vocab and phrases from the role play that they feel is useful.
The reasons I stopped were that the role plays began to wind me up. Why do a role play when they could have been themselves and had a "real" conversation? Also the American guy (Peter?) kept telling us "We're having so much fun" - "This is so much fun" but I just wasn't feeling it.
The language content is really good so I'd give it a bash and see how you get on.
p.s. I have nothing against Americans...or guys!
