Japanese for Busy People: Kana [With CD (Audio)]: 1

Product Information

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. Improves oral fluency, and enables nonnative students to speak Japanese at normal conversational speed

The grammar explanations are quite superficial, while the vocabulary is limited and tends to be business-oriented. If you’re learning Japanese to travel, watch anime, or study in Japan, you might become frustrated with the material. This is a clear and straightforward textbook for elementary Japanese. It is ideal for self-study and it, along with "Japanese for Everyone," are highly recommended for people going that route. Coming out of this book, I was no where near being conversational, but I did have a decent grasp of survival Japanese. In many ways this series has the learner off to a slower start than other books. This was frustrating for me at first, but now I think it is better as I have had more time to internalize the information. This edition is quite good for vocabulary (though much of it is business-based) but light on grammar. This is partially due to it's emphasis on conversation and to the fact that Book 2 is far more grammatically centered. Practical situations are given emphasis throughout the book. (My favorite being how to ask for forgiveness if you get drunk and spill wine on someone's carpet). Asking questions, some adjectives, negative statements, -mas and -te verb forms are introduced. JFBP 1 is excellent for practicing the kana (hiragana and katakana), but no kanji is introduced until book 2. There are many exercises that are centered on teaching sentence pattern structure. They are nearly all information gap, which can be boring, but they really do help familiarize the learner with Japanese sentence structure. The CD is clear, at a good speed and has the Target Dialogue, Short Dialogue, and Word Power sections on it. I did not use the workbook at this level, but highly recommend the workbook for Level 2. Used alone, this book would be adequate for a short stay in Japan since basics like "Where is the train station?" are covered. However, continuing on to books 2 and 3 would be required for serious study. You can use Kanshudo to study for the JLPT. Kanshudo usefulness levels for kanji, words and grammar points map directly to JLPT levels, so your mastery level on Kanshudo is a direct indicator of your readiness for the JLPT exams.A fully integrated three-level series with related supplementary materials, which is suitable for both self-study and classroom use, forms a comprehensive course in basic Japanese. Please be aware that the delivery time frame may vary according to the area of delivery - the approximate delivery time is usually between 1-2 business days. The grammar explanations only teach you enough to be functional, there are no deep digressions into the socio-psychological meaning of 'wa', the path it takes is clear and simple.
