MAIN TEXTBOOKS FOR DAILY CONVERSATION
COURSE |
Japanese for Busy People |
| 
is, as the title suggests, a concise course for "busy"
students who want to learn natural, spoken Japanese as effectively
as possible in a limited amount of time. Three main texts--Japanese
for Busy People I, Japanese for Busy People II, and Japanese
for Busy People Ill--with related workbooks, cassette tapes,
CDs, and videos make up this fully integrated three-level
series. At each level, enough vocabulary and grammar has been
provided to enable the learner to communicate in uncomplicated
aduk language without having to memorize excessive amounts
of vocabulary and language patterns that are not immediately
useful.
|
Japanese for Busy People I (beginner
level)The first level introduces
the basic sentence patterns and expressions that may be called
"survival Japanese for adults" in real-life situations.
As well as greetings and other basic formulas required for simple
social interaction, leamers are provided with all the necessary
structures and vocabulary for everyday activities such as shopping,
using public transport, and ordering a meal in a restaurant.
Special care has been taken to limit vocabulary to only the
most useful and frequently used words and expressions. Students
are taught what they need to say rather than simply developing
passive comprehension skills.
Objectives:Acquiring the absolute minimum of
Japanese language ability necessary to live in Japan
Expressions: Requests, invitations,
prohibitions, asking for permission, expressing desires
Skills: Speaking
Vocabulary:Approximately 732

MINNA
no NIHONGO 
will enable the general adult learner
to make simple conversation (Minna no Nihongo I) or more advanced
conversation (Minna no Nihongo II) in daily life situations.
Through accumulated study, the learner will build up and develop
his/her basic speaking ability. The learning materials consist
of a Main Text, a Translation and Grammar Text.
Minna no Nihongo I (beginner
level) is
aimed at anyone who urgently needs to learn to communicate in
Japanese in any situation, whether at work, school, college
or in their local community. Although it is an introductory
text, efforts ahve been made to make the exchanges between Japanese
and foreign characters in the book reflect Japanese social conditions
and everyday life as faithfully as possible. While it is intended
principally for those who have already left full-time education,
it can also be recommended as an excellennt textbook for university
entrance courses as well as short-term intensive courses at
technical colleges and universities. |
