| KANJICARD1 Japanese Kanji Study Flashcards JLPT 3, 4 White Rabbit |
This item is in stock in San Diego. Weight: 600 g. Price: $24.00
Product type: Set of kanji & kana study cards
|
|
| A great new tool for anyone aspiring to study Japanese, this is a totally revised and updated set of high-quality laminated study cards that feature all the kanji you need to master for the Japanese Proficiency Test, levels 3 & 4, the first two levels that students of Japanese should attempt. A meticulously researched set of die-cut cards, you get 103 introductory and 181 intermediate cards. The double-sided flashcards each feature 6 kanji compound words for more than 1700 vocabulary words, all readings for each kanji, and a writing guide to allow to you learn to write each kanji in the correct stroke order. The cards are printed on 12 point Caroline card stock with rounded corners for increased durability, and cards for the different study levels are color coded -- dark green for level 4, dark blue for level 3. Importantly, all Japanese words are written in hiragana and katakana, without any romanized Japanese words -- the recommended way to master reading Japanese. The cards also come with a high-quality reference card for hiragana and katakana and an index. Comes with high-quality two-part box with plastic tray, that allows you to separate the sets of cards. This new set has been updated, with improved card designs and a thicker, baked-on UV finish for longer life, the addition of radicals on kanji cards, and other improvements. This is the third revised edition, by White Rabbit.

| PB965 A Practical Guide To Mimetic Expressions Through Pictures ~ E De Wakaru Giongo Gitaigo |
Number in stock: 5 Weight: 300 g. Price: $22.00
Product type: Small Photobook
(What is this?)
|
|
| One of the most difficult things to master in Japanese are mimetic expressions, e.g. onomatopoeia, words that mimick voices, sounds or states, for example "iraira" (a feeling of irritation), "buubuu" (the sound of griping or complaining), or "girigiri" (very close, with little time/space to spare). If one can master these expressions, one's ability to express oneself in the language increases greatly and will sound more natural. This book features these expressions, divided by theme with illustrations and exercises to improve understanding. Each chapter presents a number of related phrases with examples of their useage as well as an illustration. A short quiz follows to test your understanding. The end of the book has a 6 page test to see how well you understand what you have learned, and an index in the back is excellent for reference. This 136 page book is a highly recommended textbook for those looking to improve their word power in Japanese. 5" x 7", by Akutsu Satoru, a writer for Nihongo Journal. Recommeded Level: Intermediate or those looking to tale Level 2 of the JLPT, not recommended for beginners as there is no romaji and requires the ability to read katakana, hiragana, and JLPT Level 2 kanji. |

|
| In December, tens of thousands of people across the world gather in test-centers to have their knowledge of the Japanese language put to the test. Every year the test gets a little bit harder, and making the passing grade requires more and more preparation. Unfortunately, books to assist in studying for the test are hard to come by, but J-List is proud to bring you some of the materials that can be found here in Japan. No matter what level you're testing for, from the 4th level (the easiest) to the 1st (the hardest) this Kanji Power Handbook is on the short list of necessary guidebooks. Revised following the level revisions in 2002, this up-to-date handbook contains all of the kanji necessary for all levels of the test. The most important section, the listing by reading, is a powerful dictionary of kanji, including all readings of kanji, JLPT level, meaning in English, Korean and Chinese, and several examples of the use of the kanji that you are likely to see on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. After that are indexes of kanji based on stroke order, radical, and most importantly, organized by level on the JLPT. This book is an important reference tool for anyone studying for the test. Even when you are not studying, it is also a handy and portable kanji reference guide. 320 pages, 5 x 7", softcover perfectbound. |

| 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.
