Hi, I'm looking for a good 3rd year, intermediate level textbook. I took JPNS301 (5th semester) and part of JPNS302 (6th semester), but I absolutely abhored the text in that class. The textbook was called "An integrated approach to intermediate Japanese", published by the Japan Times. For my first and second year of Japanese study I used Nakama 1 and Nakama 2, both of which I thought were excellent textbooks and very easy to understand.
I'm basically looking for a text that would be the equivalent of Nakama 3, but haven't had any luck. Keep in mind I've already completed about 3/4s of my 3rd year work, but the text was poor and so was the class so I didn't learn as much as I should have. Also I'm going to be doing self-study now, but at this point I have a pretty darn good knowledge of Japanese (due to over-exposure to anime and manga ). Thanks for any help you can provide!
