Features: This textbook is a professional Japanese beginner's course, suitable for the foundational Japanese language courses for first-year students in Japanese major at universities. Except for the "Japanese Pronunciation" section, it contains 28 lessons. The textbook covers most of the essential content that beginners should master in the professional Japanese language stage. Japanese major programs at general universities can complete all the content within one academic year. There are approximately 1,700 new words in this textbook. The word list includes new vocabulary from "Main Text," "Grammar Explanations," and "Exercises." The new words in "Grammar Explanations" and "Exercises" are mostly common words that beginners should master, serving as effective supplements to the vocabulary in the main text. The pronunciation and spelling of words are mainly based on the "NHK Japanese Pronunciation Dictionary," while the part of speech is mainly referenced from the "Iwanami Kokugo Jiten" and the "Kodansha Kanji Jiten," with commonly used abbreviations indicated. "Exercises" are an important part of this textbook, including most of the new content from each lesson. Effective practice plays a crucial role in beginner-level Japanese learning. Learners should repeatedly practice under the guidance of their teachers and flexibly apply the new knowledge in real-life situations. In this textbook, verbs are divided into four categories: "Ichidan Verbs," "Godan Verbs," "Saridan Verbs," and "Rikidan Verbs."
