Features: Standard Japanese for Chinese Speakers (Sino-Japanese Exchange Standard Japanese), jointly edited and published by the People's Education Press and the Japanese Kokon Publishing Co., Ltd., has been widely used as a foundational textbook for beginners and intermediate learners since its launch in January 1990. It has played a significant role in the field of Japanese education in China and has been highly praised by both teachers and students. Without a doubt, Standard Japanese for Chinese Speakers is an excellent foundational textbook. However, through teaching practice, we have found that from the perspective of cultivating students' comprehensive language application skills, it would be even more perfect if additional materials on "Listening Comprehension," "Reading Comprehension," and "Speaking" could be added to the original textbook. Therefore, we have specially organized the compilation of Listening Comprehension for Standard Japanese for Chinese Speakers, Reading Comprehension for Standard Japanese for Chinese Speakers, and Speaking for Standard Japanese for Chinese Speakers. The inclusion of these three components has made Standard Japanese for Chinese Speakers more comprehensive and perfect, serving as a complement to it. We hope that while are using Standard Japanese for Chinese Speakers for teaching or learning, they can also make full use of Listening Comprehension, Reading Comprehension, and Speaking. We believe that these materials will quickly become your trusted companions on your journey to mastering Japanese.
Reading Comprehension corresponds to Standard Japanese for Chinese Speakers and is divided into two levels: beginner and intermediate. This volume is the intermediate-level reading comprehension book, featuring 40 passages. Building on the foundation of beginner-level skills, it primarily focuses on intermediate reading comprehension training. Targeted sentence patterns, grammar, and vocabulary suitable for intermediate difficulty are selected, accompanied by detailed or concise explanations and exercises. The explanations include numerous example sentences, and the answers to the exercises are provided at the end of the book. The book also incorporates knowledge-related materials about the language and writing style of Japan, allowing readers to gain insights into Japanese culture and other areas of knowledge while learning the language. This makes it highly practical and especially suitable for readers with a certain level of Japanese proficiency and those preparing for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level 2 organized by the Japan Foundation.
