Nihongo Fun & Easy 2nd Ed

Nihongo Fun & Easy ー Survival Japanese Conversation for Beginners
A beginner-level textbook to learn practical Japanese for daily conversation

Great news for beginner students! This book is designed to help students who are new to Japanese, including those with no prior knowledge of the language, to acquire natural-sounding, essential Japanese that can be used immediately in daily conversation. Unfortunately, many of the beginner textbooks (including the most well-known ones) contain unnatural expressions and phrases, however this book contains only natural phrases used by native speakers. It has been made especially for beginner students who speak English, so full English translations and explanations are provided. A useful list of verbs and adjective conjugations is also included. See the sample pages to the left.
