Basic Japanese and local Japanese in 640 sentences!
Not for grammar study, but with the ultimate goal of communicating with native speakers, we've incorporated the basics of Japanese into 640 sentences so you can adapt them to suit any situation.

In PART 1, we've divided the basic core grammar of Japanese into affirmative and negative, present and past, and informal and formal speech, and organized the episodes so that you can deal with all situations. In PART 2, we've organized the episodes for each situation with useful local Japanese for traveling in Japan, so you can confidently challenge yourself to conversing with native speakers.

If you know Japanese culture, you can see the real Japanese!
When talking with native speakers, talking about their country's culture becomes an inevitable topic of conversation.
Learn about present-day Japan and Japanese culture through "Japan in Pictures" on the opening page of each chapter and "Visible Japan and Japanese Culture" on the closing page of each chapter.

For those of you who want to get away from the tedious first step…
For those of you who want to open your Japanese language with easy and fun Japanese language and culture rather than stiff and boring grammar… .
Grammar, the backbone of language, and vivid Japanese language that is well-integrated with that grammar are included in 640+α sentences.
If you've been stuck in the same spot for years, it's time to take the first step and challenge yourself to communicate with native speakers.

"YBM Visible Japanese Conversation" will serve as your guide to help you solidify the basic grammar you need to learn from the beginning and to help you communicate with native speakers.
