Features: "I want to communicate in Japanese with Japanese people as soon as possible," "I want to learn Japanese happily every day"—these are the wishes of every beginner in Japanese. This book is written to help everyone achieve these wishes. In the process of writing, we paid special attention to the following points: The conversation scenarios were determined through interviews with approximately 60 foreigners. We surveyed the scenarios in their daily lives where they felt inconvenienced due to not knowing Japanese and the scenarios where they had to use Japanese, and selected 8 basic scenes that are essential in daily life. The exercises make extensive use of illustrations to help learners grasp the situations visually and practice conversations. Additionally, we strive to make it convenient for teachers to teach, so even teachers with limited experience can easily and joyfully teach using this textbook. This book is suitable for various types of learners, including classroom teaching, private tutoring, and self-study.
