Description

Beginning Japanese is a complete Japanese textbook and language-learning package for beginners. Start speaking, reading, and writing Japanese today with this engaging introduction to the language. The story follows Kiara, an American exchange student living in Japan who loves studying Japanese. With help from her Japanese friends and the time-traveling Tomo Tanuki (a raccoon dog), Kiara learns to speak, read, and write Japanese while visiting famous people and places in Japanese history. Illustrated with manga-style comics, this engaging textbook is written by experienced high-school Japanese teachers and shows you how to pronounce Japanese, read and write Hiragana, Katakana, and 125 essential Kanji, and understand conversational Japanese. Key features include accompanying online audio and access to The Beginning Japanese Website. Beginning Japanese is the first volume in a two-level series. Deepen your learning with Beginning Japanese Workbook, a volume of drills and exercises that reinforce the lessons in the textbook. If you already speak basic Japanese, continue your learning with the second level, Intermediate Japanese. Whether you're learning Japanese for fun, preparing for a Japanese proficiency exam, or aiming for AP or IB-level competency, Beginning Japanese is your key to becoming a confident Japanese speaker.
