A clear and fun approach to essential Japanese skills.The simple and unassuming charm of the long-running Minna no Nihongo series of textbooks has seen them become globally popular, for their instant and welcoming access to the Japanese language. With the revised 2nd edition, increased illustrations and up to date vocabulary help deliver a more modern reflection of Japanese conversations and themes, with regular sentence structure exercises and drills offering fun methods of study to review and remember them by. A surprising amount of practical vocabulary and grammar is made available to beginners in this initial volume, allowing them to make use of their Japanese skills immediately and build upon them through regular practice of reading, writing, speaking and even listening thanks to the accompanying CD. With this book, completely written in basic kana (with furigana over Kanji) a knowledge of at least Hiragana and Katakana characters is advised first, though the additional Translation & Grammar Textbook available to purchase at japancentre.com provides lots of English notes to ease and break down understanding each book chapter.Written by 3A Networks.ISBN:9784883196036
