This task-centered textbook helps beginning learners master fundamental communication skills through a practical, step-by-step approach.
Every unit progressively builds up communication skills by taking learners through tasks that challenge them to practically apply their skills in diverse activities. In contrast with lessons that focus on rote memorization of sentence patterns, Nihongo Daijobu! introduces learners to essential constructions in a flexible, intuitive way, helping them to acquire the power to communicate in basic Japanese in a short time. This book responds to the needs of learners who have struggled with putting classroom Japanese to use in the real world.
Book 1 is aimed at enabling learners to gain reasonable fluency for everyday situations and a firm command of basic grammar (nominal, adjectival and verbal sentences).
・Hiragana and katakana drills are provided at the end of the book.
・The accompanying supplement includes sets of expressions categorized by situation, and a list of basic vocabulary.
・Comes with approximately three hours of audio material.
