Overview

This textbook helps intermediate learners make the leap to advanced Japanese by comprehensively building their communication skills. Users make their way through engaging real-life readings that are challenging but not frustrating, and then discuss or write reports on the material to further deepen their learning experience.

Includes supplements that list the vocabulary used in each unit and explain key expressions. The companion workbook (sold separately) provides practice in vocabulary, grammar, and tasks aligned with the textbook.

Features
  • Every unit theme represents an aspect of Japanese society that learners are likely to experience, or will want to experience, in Japan.
  • The readings are taken from real-life texts and have not been watered down for learners.
  • The subjects, vocabulary, and kanji presented were selected as ones that can help intermediate learners raise their skills to Level N1 or N2 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test.
  • Covers 80 points of grammar essential for upper-intermediate learning.
