Book Description

0521548888 978-0521548885 March 18, 2004
This is the second book in an extensive one-year introductory course in Japanese, also suitable for those who wish to work at a slower pace. Students who finish this course will have a firm grasp of how the language works and enough knowledge of the writing system to tackle everyday written material with no more than a dictionary. Particular attention is paid to questions of grammar which foreign learners often find difficult, so Book One can also serve as a reference grammar. An Introduction to Modern Japanese uses both spoken and written forms from the outset. There are word lists for each lesson, and a comprehensive vocabulary for the whole course. Book Two comprises the exercises and word lists which accompany the fifty-two lessons in Book One. The exercises ensure that the student has understood the grammar explained in the relevant lessons and give further practice in reading and recognising characters. Book Ttwo also contains a full vocabulary, Japanese to English and English to Japanese.

5.0 out of 5 stars very useful and uncomplicated, January 5, 2007
This review is from: An Introduction to Modern Japanese: Book Two (Paperback)
When a book is good, we may review it. When its excellent, we lack words. This is an excellent tool for introduction to study of japanese. The book has marvellous editing, its big size helps to make it a very confortable experience, it is full of exercises and is very comprehensive. For learning the first steps of japanese language, I don't see anything more straight forward.
