Features: The language taught in this book is modern standard Japanese, which is actually used by educated Japanese people, and can be accepted by Japanese people of all ages, genders, and occupations in various regions. Additionally, it includes conversations of different levels, ranging from quite polite formal conversations to intimate talks between friends and family members. The book consists of 30 lessons divided into five units. The dialogues in each lesson were written by the authors based on real conversational materials they heard in various office settings, homes, and streets in Tokyo. Although the original conversational materials might be somewhat complex, the selected parts here are taken from the flow of real daily conversations.
