Cambridge University Press is offering free online access to some of their textbooks until May 31st, 2020, for the coronavirus outbreak. One of their free resources is “An Introduction to Modern Japanese” by Richard John Bowring, which I haven’t used but have heard good things about. Here’s the link to book: https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/an-introduction-to-modern-japanese/BFC917F6A123EEA137B9C24A06176022

Also, the link to the search if you want to look at all the free books (775 books in total, with many more individual chapters available): Textbooks | What We Publish | Cambridge Core

Terrible though everything is, it’s been very heartening seeing all sorts of initiatives like this springing up in the last few weeks :blush:
