About this audiobook
Unlike most Japanese language books that focus on formal and polite use, this introductory guide will help you to speak and understand Japanese as it is used in everyday life.
If you are studying, working, or just travelling to Japan, this audiobook will help you to break down the language and culture into the real and everyday essentials. Use this guide to speak Japanese from day one while also laying down a solid foundation for more advanced study and an appreciation of Japanese culture.
The culturally focused essays make the audiobook easy and enjoyable to listen to, providing pauses from the sometimes-challenging process of language learning.
The essays and the stories they contain bring Japan and its culture to life, providing insights that allow the reader to understand the sometimes bewildering and impenetrable ways of Japanese culture.
