This is the first book in a two-volume intensive one-year introductory course in Japanese, also suitable for those who wish to work at a slower pace. Students who finish this course will have a firm grasp of how the language works and enough knowledge of the writing system to tackle everyday written material with no more than a dictionary.

This intensive introductory one year course is suitable for use in a more lengthy course as well. Fifty-two lessons are accompanied by a separate book of exercises and word lists for each lesson, and a comprehensive vocabulary.
