Minna No Nihongo Elementary II Second Edition Main Text [With CD (Audio)] [Japanese]

By 3A Network and スリーエーネットワーク

Book Overview

Since it was first published in 1998, "Minna no Nihongo" has been a long-selling and classic textbook for both teachers and learners of Japanese alike. Now the series has been reborn in this second edition, with the vocabulary and conversational settings being revised (words that have gone out of usage have been replaced with new expressions frequently in use, and conversational settings have also been updated), and a CD of the dialogues and exercises included with the book. Illustrations for use in reviewing have also been increased. The grammar syllabus is basically the same, however, allowing for a smooth transition for teachers. While this book is not meant as a study aid for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, upon completing the book, the student is roughly at the N4 level of the Test.

Good in a class

I'm enjoying this book, but it helps a lot that I have a teacher familiar with the book to guide me through it. I think I'd be lost if I tried to use it for self-study.

Good, but you may require the both versions

This book is good at packing a lot of Japanese into a small space! If possible, you should get both the English and Japanese versions, however, since they both depend on each other. It's not the most fantastic Japanese book ever, but it's great for a class, or for some other guided instruction. Much better than any American textbooks I've seen. Every chapter starts with vocabulary, then a skit using the new words, as well as some good examples and exercises. The illustrations are cute. Also, the appendices are very useful in a pinch.
