Japanese for Busy People 1: Romanized Version

Product Information

Ability to select appropriate words and phrases for different situations and speech levels, such as having a meeting about holding a party, greetings for job transfers and leaving, I feel that this book is not a good choice if you are a self-taught/self-teaching student of Japanese. The book is kind of like a workbook on steroids. It is definitely more than just a workbook, but it tends to be somewhat light on explanations. An example of this is that it doesn't explain the rules of how to change verbs to the "te" form. It just presents the verbs with their "te" form, leaving you to memorize the combos rather than understand HOW these verbs change, and thus empowering you accurately use words on the fly when you are presented with a new verb.

As suggested in the title, this is a concise course for busy students who want to learn natural, spoken Japanese as efficiently as possible in a limited amount of time.

Thus, the vocabulary and grammatical items it introduces are limited to about a third of what is typically introduced in a first-year course.

The exercises in the book have also been thoroughly revised to incorporate more comprehension and production tasks. Many of these exercises are illustrated, making for a stimulating learning experience, and the purpose of each one is clearly stated.

The Kana Version is exactly the same as the Romanized Version except for the scripts used throughout the book: hiragana and katakana.

All of these are issues are solved when this book is used in a classroom environment (as is the case with me), but as stated I think this would be a difficult book to use on its own.

Changes have also been made in favor of more natural practice sentences and dialogues. In addition, new appendices list the particles, interrogatives, and sentence patterns in the book, as well as the kanji introduced. Japanese for Busy People I: The Workbook for the Revised 4th Edition is for all learners who wish to improve their speaking and listening skills. It can be used in tandem with Japanese for Busy People I: Revised 4th Edition, both Kana Edition and Romanized Edition, or as independent study material. It also uses rote memorization and simple repetition to help you learn the language. By that I mean the beginning of very chapter introduces a few new words and concepts, and the rest of the chapter showcases sentences that use those words/concepts, presenting you with basic patterns and structures for you to plug the new words into. Some people find this helpful (and I am one of them!!) other people do not find constant repetition to be the easiest way to retain something. Further, this mindless repetition can be potentially confusing or frustrating, especially when it is not paired with rules of use. An example of this is particle usage. Particularly, the particles "de" and "ni". The sentence structure is always "(somewhere) ni ikimasu/kimasu/kaerimasu", but it's always "(somewhere) DE aimasu/mimasu/tabemase/etc". My teacher explained that it is always "ni" with directional verbs but "de" with action verbs. That's a very helpful rule to know!! And one the book doesn't tell you.
