Features: 《》 is a practical conversation manual written for international students, tourists visiting Japan, trainees, and readers in China learning Japanese. The book covers basic conversations from flying to Japan to returning home. It includes various scenarios in daily life in Japan and considers needs for stays of around a year or even longer. The book is primarily divided into two parts: Part 1 is "Basic Expressions," which categorizes frequently used typical expressions by communicative purpose; the second part is "Scenario Dialogues," which sets specific scenarios to allow readers to use what they learn immediately. The dialogues carefully select expressions suitable for both men and women, practical, and easy to use. Expressions that are only used among very close people, idioms, and colloquialisms are not included. Unique aspects of Japanese word order are explained in the appendix, after each scenario dialogue. A section titled "Connecting Words, Usage, and Expressions" is also provided, focusing on their usage and offering annotations for Japanese words that indicate respect or politeness. The book starts from the actual needs of readers, setting up a variety of life scenarios and selecting different expressions. We hope that through this book, readers will not only learn these expressions but also deepen their spiritual connection with the Japanese people.
