| Teach
Yourself Japanese is the course for anyone who wants
to progress quickly from the basics to understanding and
speaking with confidence. Although aimed at those with
no previous knowledge, it is equally suitable for anyone
wishing to brush up existing knowledge for a holiday or
business trip. Key structures
and vocabulary are introduced in 22 thematic units which
deal with everyday situations such as introducing yourself
and finding your way around. The emphasis is on communication
throughout with important language structures introduced
through dialogues on the accompanying recording. The
book uses a system of romanised script usually called
the modified Hepburn system which is better suited to
English speakers than the 'kunrei' system officially
used in Japan, although the differences are not great.
There is almost no Japanese script in the book.
The accompanying audio material is available
separately on two CDs or cassettes or in a pack with
the book. |
