Nakama 1 is a complete, flexible introductory program designed to present the fundamentals of the Japanese language to college students. Presented in two parts, Nakama 1a and Nakama 1b, the program focuses on proficiency-based language learning, emphasizes practical communication and student interaction, and fosters the development of all four language skills and cultural awareness. Thematically organized chapters focus on high-frequency communicative situations and introduce students to the Japanese language and its three writing systems: hiragana, katakana, and kanji. Maintaining the program's balanced approach, the new edition features updated technology resources, new authentic art, and practical, contemporary vocabulary to enhance both teaching and learning.

Really fast shipping! Mint condition just as described. I have 1A & it was also mint. 1A is very great, i recommend it. It makes learning easy because it gives you additional info & also gives you conversations to get the hang of talking & lets you see how a conversation is in real life settings.

I am currently enrolled in Japanese 1312 at my school, and we are at the end of the beginner's level on our way to intermediate. This is the textbook that we have been using for the past year, and I must say, as someone trying to learn japanese, this book delivers. You will learn a lot of vocabulary that is essential to the language, and its a great book to learn from when outside the classroom. I want to also mention, there are very minor spelling or sentence structure mistakes with regard to the english, I think there was a better way to word some of the sentences for learning purposes, but it is not much of a hinderance, granted you are learning the vocabulary. The book moves you at a good pace and you will be able to learn a wealth of vocab, grammar, structure, and some culture. Also, you will notice that this is 1b, which is extension of 1a. In my opinion, you should buy the bigger version which includes 1a and 1b, since it all follows the same format and it will be easier to reference the information. All in all, definitely deserves a 4/5.

I used this book for class and enjoyed it. Some topics are explained a bit confusing, but I had a great teacher who helped make sense of everything. I'd recommend it for class, especially if it's required.

This book is apart of the Nakama series and serves no real use to the development of Japanese except maybe reference.
I highly recommend you save your money and just download the H.J.L App on Android market due to that being more useful.

Thank you, this book is excellent. I love that I got the instructors' edition too. I got it at such a steal at $63 instead of $100+....the shipping took a little while, but I am super happy with the product!
