Features: This book consists of four chapters, concisely introducing the basic structures and fundamental grammatical knowledge of judgment sentences, existence sentences, descriptive sentences, and narrative sentences, tailored to the levels of the Japanese Proficiency Test (JLPT) levels 3 and 4. It lists the essential sentence patterns that must be mastered in basic Japanese teaching and learning. The author fully considers the needs of learners studying Japanese independently and purposefully selects sentence patterns and grammatical items. The fundamental sentence structures of judgment sentences, existence sentences, descriptive sentences, and narrative sentences are presented in quotation marks, and key points are explained in plain and easy-to-understand language, making the learning of basic Japanese both effortless and enjoyable. The exercises are designed to reinforce the key knowledge, with complementary content that progresses from simple to complex, combining spoken exercises and conversation practice. Each section includes a vocabulary list, noting the part of speech and listing the main translated words to aid learners. Foreign language learning and understanding foreign cultures are closely related. While studying basic Japanese, it is also appropriate to gain some insight into the social conditions and culture of Japan. To this end, the author has designed special columns titled "Japanese Social Conditions" and "Knowledge Window" to highlight relevant Japanese knowledge, social circumstances, and cultural information.
