Contemporary Japanese Textbook Volume 2

"Contemporary Japanese is a textbook series for beginning students of Japanese at the college level or anyone who wants or learn Japanese. It is intended for classroom use as well as self-study. Each lesson in the books is very short and has a single, clearly-defined objective. All lessons make use of the "active discovery" approach which encourages rapid learning through "guess and try" problem-solving as opposed to rote memorization. This highly effective method uses real-life conversations that make learning fun by involving you in a conversation with your peers. It also removes the fear of saying something wrong! This book contains 45 short lessons grouped into 12 chapters, each of which presents a variety of activities and exercises for all of the four skills of language and yet is designed to be covered in a single session. This "daily multivitamin" approach to language learning makes it easy to track your progress and to review later! Native speaker audio recordings giving correct pronunciations for the dialogs and vocabulary in each lesson are available online for free.”--Back cover.
