Learn Japanese through Dialogues Yumi Boutwell

Finally, a fun and easy way to learn REAL conversational Japanese!Learn how to ask and give directions in Japanese by following along with these dialogues. All dialogues are explained and you can download free MP3s to hear the conversations. We believe the best way to learn vocabulary--by far--is to study words within their proper context. The dialogues found within are all about context and how Japanese is actually used among friends. The book itself contains the dialogue with the English translation, but it also adds cultural or grammatical notes to help you understand the dialogue in context. While you do not have to know hiragana before using this ebook (romaji is provided), we highly recommend it. Every kanji here has furigana (small hiragana) over it to aid reading. However, if you do not yet know hiragana, please check out our Hiragana, the Basics of Japanese ebook: http: //www.amazon.com/Hiragana-Basics-Japanese-ebook/dp/B003YJEQVSPlease download the sound files (link found on the last page). We hope this ebook by itself will be helpful, but the sound files--in our opinion--give it most of its value.
