Products I like:

Here are the grammar, reading and kanji "Kanzen Master" books for JLPT 2/N2. Very good series. I have the green one.

Vocabulary sound files

A few people have commented that this audio is not great, so I have produced some native-speaker japanese vocabulary.

You can also listen to Japanese Internet radio.
