いいニューズがあります！
去年出版になった教科書がアマゾンジャパンで販売されるようになりました。（結構前にアマゾンに載せられたけど、忙しくてここで書いていなかった。しかも、やっと誰かがオンラインレビューを書いたくれたから、安心に皆に見せます）もしよかったら、上のリンクへ見てください。
今回の教科書は、今まで自分が書いた教科書と同じく、大学生・社会人向きです。出版会社（南雲堂）が普通には、大学の先生に直接販売しています。現在のところで、３０近いの大学・専門学校がこの教科書を採用してくれて、結構嬉しいです。上のリンクで表示するのは、日本語版だから、日本人には、普通の教科書より使いやすいと思います（アマゾンのリンクで、教科書の中のページも見えるから、どうず、観察してください
内容は、１０ユニットがあって、主に海外で使える英語がマイン。設定がカナダへの旅だから、特にカナダあるいは、アメリカに旅行したい人には、訳に立つと思います。このEncounters Abroadには、特に自信があります。教科書を買おうかなって思っているなら、この教科書にしたら、絶対に楽しく、楽で上達できます！（上初級から、上中級のレベルの人が一番ターゲット）。I promise
もし使うなら、このコミュニティで新しいトピックを作って、一緒にオンラインで答えを教えたらい、いろいろできますから、興味のある方は、是非アマゾンで購入したら、教えてください。アマゾンの値段は、２，３１０円だけど、教科書だけではなく、CDもありますし、ミニ旅行用フレーズブックもありますから、お勧めです！
Anyway, that’s my good news for today. Please let me know if I've
made any huge Japanese errors :)
Actually, I felt a bit guilty about pimping my own book in this
community, but the reviews the book is getting in teaching journals and
from students are making me quite confident that this is a book that
students are really enjoying learning from. Nothing makes me happier!
Anyway, if you are in the market for a book, I hope you’ll choose this one and let me know what you think. I guarantee that you'll like it and find it useful!

Hi. I had a look Amazon's page.
You did absolutely great job, Mike!
This is quite understandable.
I like the word explanation on the right hand side, and the volume of Japanese is just comfortable.
Also, the expressions in conversations here looks very useful and natural. I mean not too difficult and not too easy, but we hear this expression actually in English speaking countries, so if we learn these, I know we could have no problem to have conversation with native speakers even the level is basic. This is exactly what to learn for us.
I don't know which exercise would work, though...
Do you have upper intermediate level, as well?

Doggy: Thanks so much for the nice comments and analysis.
I should get you to write a review on Amazon. haha I'm
glad you noticed the kinds of expressions in the
conversations. I kind of hate the unnatural English
that most textbooks use, so I made an effort to make
it as natural as possible. As for upper intermediate,
there's the 英語版, but the content is the same, so for
somebody at your level, although it might be useful as a
reference, it would be too easy I think. I'll try to
make my next book more challenging :)
Anyway, thanks so much for the positive comments. I
really appreciate it

Bonjour chaton :)
Yeah, I was excited to finally get a review.
The book has been on Amazon for quite a long time.
I hope that anybody who uses the book here will also
write a review (all positive, of course. hahaha).
As for the new topic -- ideally, it would be nice
to have a few people who want to try to study a unit
from the book at the same time -- and they can take
turns trying to post the answers they have written
to the exercises is the book. Of course, I will give
comments and corrections. And for people who want
more challenge, we can also look at more complex ways
of expressing ideas compared to what is in the book.
Bascially, it would be like an online class -- a free
one, of course. But I would also benefit -- not only
would people be using and hopefully telling others of
the book -- I would also be getting a lot of useful
feedback that will help me when I start writing a new
textbook (which eventually I will do).
And yes, at some point, I'm going to do something more
advanced. In fact, I'm about 1/4 finished the first
manuscript for a book on how to learn English effectively.
I've been very busy with family issues back in Canada,
plus my regular job at 城西, but once it's done, I think
that even quite advanced learners might find it useful.
But it's a few years away from being published. Sorry. lol

Hi, I also had a look of your book on Amazon.
I know many English text books but I cannot decide which one is really good to use because I dont know natural English phrases and expressions. So, you should advertize the book more insisting on useful natural English in it. I hope more and more people would buy it and learn English.
Anyway, I would like you to publish advanced one as others hope so, and if the plan for the online lesson, I'd love to take the lesson. Im waiting for the moment.

カピ☆ : Yeah, I hope that a lot of people try to
use it, too. One thing about writing a textbook -- you
want as many people as possible to learn from it.
Not just to sell books, but because when you write
a textbook, you're actually writing the way you
think that people should learn a language. And for
me, I always try to think about whole, real-life
tasks, and about authentic language.
Morimori: 毎度毎度！！Thanks! Let me know when the
book arrives and we can start that new topic
at the beginning of next week or so.
Baby: You got it? You mean the book has arrived
already?? WOw! So let's start to study soon! Also,
I was going to ask you...do you ever speak to your
son in English? You should -- I think you must be
a good role model for him. He has a real advantage
about school having a mom who is as fluent as you
are in English!
Ebichili: Yeah, it's actually already sold out,
but Amazon has ordered more books now from the
publisher, so it just takes a few days longer
compared to when they have books in stock.
Actually, it took quite a lot of convincing to have
the publishers put the book on Amazon. It's
something they don't normally do. It's primarily
an academic publisher, so they usually do direct
sales to teachers. And they do a good job of that --
the book sold out 100% of the first run of copies
before the first sales had even finished. But
I wanted to be on amazon so that 社会人 could
use the book, too. Luckily, there was one guy
at the publisher -- actually a close personal friend
of mine now -- who really helped me win that
negotation in the company. He was also the guy
that did so many of the images in the book using
Illustrator. For example, the Internet check-in
form in Unit 4 was his. I was really lucky to
have done the book with that publisher, mostly
because it meant that I got such a talented editor,
and got a good friend of it, too!
