Beginning Japanese Phrases: Podcast Episodes 1-30

This series is based on a weekly podcast we produce called (unimaginatively) Beginning Japanese Phrases.

FORMAT OF THIS BOOK

As we do in the podcast, we'll introduce one useful Japanese word, phrase, or grammatical function. Then we'll breakdown an example sentence using that word within a common context.

Each example sentence will include a literal and more natural translation as well as all the vocabulary and grammar defined and explained.

We are including ro-maji at the end, but we highly recommend avoiding that and work through the Japanese instead.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

This book is designed so that both those fairly new to Japanese and those in the upper beginner stages can equally get value. You will need to know hiragana and basic grammar and sentence structure to use this book.

FEATURES
