Features: To enable learners to master basic listening and speaking skills within a limited time frame (200 hours), the is uniquely designed with a distinctive learning approach that emphasizes the use of the textbook and audio cassettes. Check the companion audio tapes. "Listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translation" are the five fundamental elements of foreign language learning. To excel in a foreign language, one must grasp these five elements. However, for language learners outside the target language environment, "listening and speaking" become the most formidable obstacles on the road to progress, especially for non-majors, self-learners, and advanced learners. The New Japanese Course 1 and 2 effectively addresses this issue. The textbook has become the best-selling Japanese learning material globally (according to Asahi Shimbun), capturing 60% of the Japanese market share, with no element of chance involved. This is the result of nearly four decades of continuous exploration, refinement, and revision by the Overseas Technical Training Association (AOTS), through the arduous journey of three versions, culminating in the current New Japanese Course 1 and 2.
