| One of the questions we get asked at J-List a lot is, "I want to start learning Japanese, what book do you recommend?" Most textbooks are entirely dry, uninteresting, and cannot follow a student's pace, leaving students frustrated. However, a new series by The Japan Times has recently taken Japanese language for foreigners by storm, and comes highly recommended by anyone who has taken it -- Genki, An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese. The entire course has 23 lessons, guiding the student from the beginning until the student has mastered elementary grammar and can read not only hiragana and katakana but over 300 of the most commonly used kanji as well. Each lesson has: 1) a dialogue introducing vocabulary and grammar in a situation the student may find familiar; 2) a list of the vocabulary with hiragana, katakana, kanji and English meaning; 3) grammar with full explanations in English; 4) interesting usage notes; 5) several pages of practice questions designed to be fun and interesting incorporating dialogue skills, writing skills, and thinking skills; 6) additional vocabulary. Each lesson also has a complementary lesson in hiragana/katakana/kanji, with reading and writing exercises. The separate workbook has more writing exercises and kanji writing practice. This is simply the recommended textbook for anyone beginning Japanese up to 3rd level in the JLPT. THIS BOOK: This book is the answer key book containing all the answers to both Genki I and Genki II, for both the workbook and textbook. All the exercises are answered here, with page numbers corresponding to their place in the Genki workbooks and textbooks. Furthermore, this book contains the complete transcriptions to the listening sections of the workbook. This is a necessary companion for those doing self-study with the Genki workbook/textbook for those who want to check their answers by themselves. 7" x 10" (18 x 25.5 cm) 72 pages, card cover perfectbound.

| Here's a fascinating way to use your Nintendo DS to learn Japanese more effectively: the Kanji Sonomama Dictionary, which turns any Nintendo DS into a very useful tool for learning Japanese. There are four dictionaries -- English-Japanese, Japanese-English, Kokugo (Japanese-Japanese, the best way to learn) and Kanji, with 240,000 entries at your fingertips. While you can input words with the optional on-screen keyboard, the best way to enter words is using the stylus, which can accurately read the kana, kanji and English letters you enter for speedy lookup. Input is done on the lower screen, while results appear on the top screen -- it's beautiful! There are many other features, too, such as pronunciation of English words, a "Jump" feature for looking up English words, several quiz functions, the ability to save words for later study, and more. About this software product: This is a standard Nintendo DS software cartridge made for the Japanese market. It is compatible with DS hardware (the original DS, DS Lite and the new DSi) from around the world. Note that the software itself and game manual are in Japanese. We recommend that you use this program with other study tools to learn the correct pronunciations for Japanese. Recommended for students with one year of previous study at least. |

Product type: NINTENDO DS

| Thanks to personal computers and phones that can send email, many Japanese no longer write as much kanji as they used to, and it's easy even for them to forget. Here's a useful Nintendo DS learning program to help! The game features several sections, including a Simple Kanji Test you can take anywhere, practice with stroke order or writing with the stylus, an automatic "My Training" section, plus a kanji game. Start the game, enter your name and birthdate, and you're ready to test yourself against 2100+ everyday kanji. The game is smart, too: if you get a kanji wrong it will make you write it ten times to remember it. If you get stuck with a kanji, the answer button is always right there to help you.

| STNB002 Japanese the Manga Way |
Number in stock: 9 Weight: 1360 g. Price: $22.95
Product type: Japan-related book
|
|
| Japanese difficult? Study boring? Not if you use a real manga, real Japanese approach to learning. Presenting all spoken Japanese as a variation of three basic sentence types, Japanese the Manga Way shows you how to build complex constructions step by step. Almost every key grammar point taught in the first two years of study is illustrated with a panel from a manga actually published in Japan to show how the language is used in real life. Learning with manga makes rules and structures easy to remember, and also lets you experience colloquialisms, contractions, interjections, and other elements of speech that get short shrift in more formal textbooks. At the same time, you'll find a wealth of solid information to give you confidence at exam time.
With a detailed index, numerous tables and sidebars, and a complete guide to pronunciation, Japanese the Manga Way is ideal as an introduction for the independent student, as a supplement for the beginning classroom, and as a reference or review for advanced learners. Click for sample.
Wayne P. Lammers grew up in Japan and has taught Japanese at the university level. An award-winning translator, he was the translation editor for Mangajin magazine for seven years. He lives in Portland, Oregon.
