Features: To help readers understand the impressions Japanese people have of sounds, the chapter introduces some sound images (such as the 50 Kana, hard sounds, soft sounds, etc.). After readers have some preliminary impressions of them, they can freely enter any chapter that follows for learning. Readers can study while doing exercises to check their level of understanding. Onomatopoeia and mimetic words are very sensory words.
