Features of this book/

▶You can learn Japanese quickly and efficiently with short-term training that can be completed within 20 weeks.

▶Because Japanese is a language where adjectives, adjective verbs, and verb endings are most important, unlike other textbooks that start with nouns, we structured the learning process to begin with these three parts of speech based on their importance.

▶It is structured in a spiral learning structure that repeats and deepens the use of adjectives, adjective-verbs, and verb endings, allowing for more efficient study.

▶The textbook itself has the function of a workbook, so there is no need to purchase separate notebooks or workbooks for practice.

▶ QR codes for the author's video lectures, produced based on the textbook, are inserted into the text to enhance the learning convenience of self-study students.

▶A portable mini-book containing only the key points of this textbook is included separately, so you can review it anytime, anywhere.
