You might be able to present the right balance of technical detail and policy goals to be understood by a larger number of people. People often ask me to advise them which book they should buy to learn language X fast. X being French or Russian or German etc. I always give the same advice. Go to a good bookstore that stocks a large choice of books in your chosen language. In some cities that means the local university bookshop, in others there may even be a specialist bookshop that sells just language books. The important thing is that you go and look at several different books, compare them to one another and FIND THE ONE WHOSE AUTHOR SPEAKS TO YOU. Find the writer whose writing matches your way of thinking. Other than that, buy one dictionary that you can carry with you all day long, one beginners book, and one graded reader to start. Every 6 months, go back to this (or another) shop and look over the selection again because you may have advanced to the point where additional books/CDs will help. And always avoid beginners books which do not use the native alphabet of the language you are learning, a particular problem with Japanese. In the masses of content that is indexed by Google, we need MORE variety, not less. Please do try to write something if you can. --Michael Dillon
