The aim of this excellent textbook is to give learners a taster of everyday Japanese expressions before moving on to a comprehensive introduction of vocabulary, grammar, phonetics, and even some useful kanji.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe study guide consists of 10 lessons divided across three units, with the aforementioned additional preparatory lesson to help you participate in classes in Japanese from the very beginning. The theme progresses across each unit from the personal and the familiar in the first unit to more global topics in the third unit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe writers of the book wanted to present a comfortable, organic learning experience that is designed to help students acquire Japanese just by working through the book. At the start of each unit, there is a “pre-activity” page that gives you the opportunity to think and talk about topics and themes related to the content of the unit. Throughout the unit, there are lots of reading and listening exercises to help you learn and practice new words and expressions, as well as grammatical structures. At the end of each unit is a “Challenge” page with opportunities for self-directed study that will deepen your knowledge and further develop the skills you have acquired in the unit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIt is highly recommended to also sign up on the Tobira website to download their excellent supplemental learning materials and watch the instructional videos to get the maximum effect out of this textbook.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis is a first-rate learning tool that can be used in classroom settings or for self-study, and it will help you with all areas of your Japanese learning.
