                                Overall I think Japanese Pod 101 is a great website.  I would recommend trying out the free podcasts for awhile and see if you like their lesson style.  Once you get familar with the teaching style, you can upgrade to the basic account to use the pdfs.  Then you can later upgrade to the premium account once you are ready.

I personally print out the pdfs and read along to them as I listen to the podcast.  I try to time myself and read the script faster and faster.  This really helps fluency, and helps you get the most out of the lesson.

I also like the yujijukugo lessons.  If you are not familar with yujijukugo, they are essentially Japanese idiomatic expressions.  I think it helps to understand the culture more.                ]]></description>
