Japanese language learning needs are diversifying as more foreigners are visiting Japan and the number of Japanese language learners increases overseas. This also includes an increase in individuals with zero or close to zero Japanese language learning experience.
Yet beginner Japanese learning often takes place according to the rails set down by the N5-N4 levels of the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test, proceeding at a quick pace. While this may
be fine for individuals from the East Asian cultural sphere or those studying Japanese at school every day, this proves quite difficult for others, causing no small amount of learners to grow discouraged.
This book aims to act as a first step toward allowing beginners to smoothly progress through their Japanese studies by teaching what could be called an "N6 level" of Japanese. This volume can be used to build a foundation as you grow accustomed to the basic workings and characteristics of the Japanese language.
