Japanese for Young People is a new three-level series (with an optional starter level for elementary students) designed primarily for junior-high and high school curricula encouraging systematic Japanese-language acquisition through an enjoyable but structured learning process. With an emphasis on coordination of structure and verbal communication skills, this first Strudent Book introduces the building-blocks of Japanese grammar through Key Sentences, Dialogues, Exercises, and Tasks.

With color illustrations and cultural notes throughout, Japanese for Young People provides an unintimidating start to learning one of the world's most difficult languages.
