Features: "Small Japan, Big Economy," Japanese people, with their super strong economic and technological strength, are increasingly profoundly influencing Asia and even the whole world. Japanese pop culture has almost led the modern trends in Asia! Warm and romantic Japanese dramas, dynamic and graceful PALAPALA dances, highly infectious Japanese pop music, compact and unique electronic products, captivating Japanese comics, and animated series—almost, we're getting used to seeing various Japanese characters everywhere on the streets! Amazing! What do these strange symbols mean?! They look so messy! Curious and tactile learners, of course, are eager to find out! In fact, these symbols are very simple, at least much simpler than our Chinese characters! Their formal name is "Kana," which means "letters" in Japanese! The basic Hiragana are generally arranged in a table according to certain rules, with a total of 50 (with some repetitions), so it is traditionally called the "50-Kana Chart." Once you master this 50-Kana Chart, you'll basically have no problem with Japanese pronunciation! "すごい！" is a sentence made up of three Kana, meaning: "Awesome! Great!" Once you put a little effort into learning the 50-Kana Chart and memorize a few Japanese phrases, others will think you're amazing! This book has a clear and focused goal—to explain and practice Japanese Kana. It also features a simple storyline that runs through the entire book, with lovable Chinese student "Xiao Yang," internet friend "Tanaka," handsome Korean "Li Ming," and "Xiao Ai," who dreams of becoming a flight attendant when she grows up! Let's take a look at their happy lives in Japan! Amazing! What do these strange symbols mean?! They look so messy! Curious and tactile learners, of course, are eager to find out!
