A new and exciting approach to basic Japanese for young adults. The Association for Japanese-Language Teaching (AJALT), renowned for its Japanese for Busy People series, has developed a comprehensive course for teaching Japanese to young adults in English-speaking countries. Japanese for Young People is a new three-level series designed primarily for junior high and high school curricula, encouraging systematic Japanese-language acquisition through an enjoyable but structured learning process. This Kana Workbook, a fully integrated component of the Japanese for Young People series, is for young students who want to learn the two native phonetic scripts, hiragana and katakana. Its unique and proven approach, which is based on a solid foundation of writing drills and an optional audiocassette that is part of Japanese for Young People Cassette Tapes, teaches the pronunciation and configuration of the kana characters in tandem. With numerous illustrations, a combination of traditional reading and writing drills, and an entertaining selection of crossword puzzles and word searches, Japanese for Young People Kana Workbook is the perfect guide for young learners encountering Japanese for the first time.
