You can actually speak Japanese just by listening.
Just listen to the audio and follow along, and your ears and mouth will open.
If you want to watch Japanese dramas, travel to Japan, and speak like a native, start by learning sound patterns!

First, learn the informal language frequently used in daily life.
Learn short and simple informal speech first, and then learn long and difficult formal speech later.
You can learn Japanese more easily and enjoyably.

We will definitely answer any questions you may have as a Japanese learner.
Fujii, the top Japanese language expert recognized by 600,000 readers, has gathered all of his know-how and provides essential information for beginners to learn Japanese.

※ This book is a 'complete edition' that combines the contents of 'Just Follow Japanese' and 'Just Follow Japanese Advanced Edition' into one volume.
Now, learn the 'sound learning method' proven by 380,000 Japanese learners in just one book.
You can experience the experience of your ears and mouth opening at the same time.


★ Features of this book

“
Think back to when we learned to sing.

Usually, you don't learn by looking at sheet music and writing lyrics, right?
If you listen to a song over and over again and follow along,
The song just comes out of your mouth naturally.

Foreign languages ​​should be learned like songs.

This way, you will be able to speak Japanese with natural pronunciation and intonation from the beginning.

"

1.
You don't need to know hiragana or memorize grammar!
Most beginner textbooks are designed to teach you Hiragana first.
When learning Japanese, it was natural to start by memorizing the 50 sounds.
However, "Just Follow Japanese" suggests that you learn hiragana slowly and start by listening first.
'Open your ears first, and when your ears are open, your mouth will open, and your eyes will open too.' This is the core of the sound pattern learning method.

This book neither adds Korean pronunciation to Japanese nor furigana to Chinese characters.
If you focus too much on the letters, you may end up learning awkward pronunciations.
Instead, we provide mp3 files optimized for listening/speaking training to ensure sound pattern learning.
For the first time in a Japanese textbook, intonation is indicated for every word, allowing you to learn natural Japanese intonation.


2.
Learn easy and simple informal speech first!
In everyday life, you need to know how to use both formal and informal speech appropriately depending on the situation, but most beginner textbooks are mainly composed of formal speech.
《Just Follow Japanese》 is structured to break the mold of Japanese textbooks that always start with formal speech and to help you learn informal speech first.
This is because, in addition to being able to respond to various situations in daily life, learning Japanese first with short, easy informal speech and then with long, difficult formal speech is an easier way to learn Japanese.
The course is designed to be paired with a course that teaches informal speech and a course that teaches formal speech, so that students learn informal speech first and then learn the corresponding formal speech.
Because you learn by comparing informal and formal speech, you can naturally learn the differences in usage.


3.
It provides a refreshing solution to the difficulties and questions of self-study learners!
This book contains all of the know-how that Mr. Fujii accumulated while teaching Korean students at Seoul National University's Language Education Center for 10 years and communicating closely with readers in various ways after the publication of "Ilmutta."

With various corners such as [Katakana Practice] and [Challenge Long Sentences], which are well-placed, it helps Japanese learners to thoroughly learn even the parts that are easily overlooked. In the corners [This is Japanese!], [Just a moment!], and [Aha, in Japan!], you can experience detailed and meticulous explanations on a whole new level, such as parts that Koreans often make mistakes or need to be careful about, a summary of expressions that are easy to confuse, subtle nuance differences, and differences between Korean and Japanese.


※ Highly recommended for these people! ※
1.
For those who want to start studying Japanese for conversational purposes
2.
For those who want to learn correct Japanese pronunciation from the beginning
3.
People who gave up halfway through memorizing only Hiragana
4.
For those who want to learn Japanese seriously
