Features: This book consists of conversational short passages set in various scenes commonly encountered in daily life and work. Considering that Chinese people primarily use Japanese when interacting with Japanese individuals domestically or when living, working, or traveling abroad in Japan, this collection is divided into two main parts: "In China" and "In Japan."
The "In China" section simulates scenarios involving interactions with Japanese people in China, such as tourism reception, accompanying Japanese individuals shopping, and dining with them. The "In Japan" section simulates scenes related to studying, living, and working in Japan, starting from handling overseas procedures, to airport immigration, to using various modes of transportation in Japan, and various other settings like banks and post offices.
The book comprises 13 major scenes and 69 specific topics, with each topic divided into three or four sections:
1. Dialogue Text: Basic scene-based conversational passages, with Japanese dialogues followed by Chinese translations.
2. Basic Vocabulary: Simple explanations of words and grammar used in the dialogue to aid comprehension.
3. Common Expressions: Additional relevant terms and phrases to supplement the dialogue, helping you familiarize yourself with common expressions in different contexts and expand your vocabulary.
4. Cultural Notes: Some passages include relevant cultural background information to help you better understand Japanese customs and etiquette, enabling more appropriate communication.
The book is presented in a Japanese-Chinese (bilingual) format, with Japanese dialogues followed by Chinese translations. This design maintains the integrity of the Japanese language while providing a reference for learning, making it highly convenient to use.
This book is suitable for readers with a certain foundation in Japanese. It serves as an ideal conversational tool for tour guides, foreign affairs workers, overseas students and employees, as well as self-learners of Japanese.
