About this product
Product Information
The Japanese writing system was introduced into Japan by the Chinese around the middle of the 6th century AD. The Chinese language is very different to Japanese in structure and so the writing system was gradually adapted to fit the structure of the Japanese language. There are now three scripts which make up the Japanese writing system (four if you include roman script): kanji, hiragana and katakana. The latter two are known collectively as kana. This book will make the reading and writing of Japanese accessible to you through a step-by-step approach which will help you to gradually build up your knowledge of Japanese script. It will show you that written Japanese can be interesting, challenging and also fun to learn. Units 1-4 introduce mainly kanji which developed from pictures of nature. Units 4 & 6-8 will teach you how to decipher more complex kanji giving you the tools to take your study further on completion of the book. Units 8 & 10 give you the chance to put your learning into practice through real-life examples of signs, notices and warnings, and also a number of reading passages. Unit 5 is devoted to hiragana and Unit 9 to katakana. There are lots of practice activities and ideas to help you learn and remember these two scripts. By the end of the book, you'll be able to read and write simple Japanese with confidence. The leader in self-learning with more than 300 titles, covering all subjects.

Fascinating, with the complexities clearly explained by an expert.
If you have an obsessive love of detail and are fascinated by languages, this is the book for you! I am enjoying the process of working through this course, taking a couple of steps forward and then going back to remind myself of the step before. Great fun, and it enables me to make intelligent conversation with my grandson, who is studying Japanese at school in Australia.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
