Features: The writing philosophy of this book is that it can be used for conversation practice after clarifying learning points, or for summarizing key points after practice. The book adopts the latter approach in its writing process. Conversation classes are not intensive reading classes, nor are they supplementary classes for listening and speaking. Therefore, grammar explanations, sentence pattern drills, and other elements are not within the scope of this book's compilation. The book consists of 32 lessons, divided into three parts. Starting from the Japanese phonetics stage, it covers the entire primary stage of basic Japanese. The difficulty level of language knowledge is arranged according to the grammar acquisition sequence in the Standard Japanese for Beginners (Volumes 1 and 2). The book advocates learning to swim by swimming, with in-class feedback being a crucial part of this process. Both the main practice points and language points should be introduced in class feedback based on students' performance, rather than being pre-introduced. The book does not demand perfect language expression from students during practice; it only requires that communication be achieved. Additionally, considering the target audience is beginners, the book is written entirely in Chinese, except for the answer key and practice points.
