"Japanese Language and Culture" is a textbook for an advanced Japanese conversation course designed to help you understand and learn Japan correctly.
The writing team consists of a Japanese professor who teaches Japanese to foreigners in Japan, a Japanese professor who teaches Japanese to Koreans in Korea, and a Korean professor.
We are trying various methods to promote understanding of Japanese culture through in-depth Japanese language education through education and research by domestic and international experts.

No matter how well you speak Japanese, if you don't properly understand Japanese culture or lifestyle, you will inevitably develop a distance from other cultures.
Japan, often described as a "close yet distant country," appears similar in many ways, including its similar appearance, shared Chinese character culture, and identical word order structure.
However, there are differences in the way of expressing concessions, consideration, and apologies, which can lead to misunderstandings.

If we can understand and overcome these differences between Japan and Korea through 『Japanese Language and Culture』, it will be beneficial for both of us.
We, who are learning Japanese, need to accept Japan's good culture and actively promote our own good culture.
To do that, you need to be good at Japanese.
『Japanese Language and Culture』 is designed to enable students to properly learn the cultures of both countries through the Japanese language.
