Time and Movement: じかんといどう

By Read Nihongo and Haruki Yamamoto

A schedule is easier to follow when time, destination, and duration are visible in the same story. Time and Movement follows adults through ten familiar routines: the first train, laundry before work, a lunch walk, a shopping pickup window, a rainy commute, and preparation for tomorrow.

The grammar centers on actions at a specific time with ni, movement toward a place with e or ni, and spans from kara to made. Track when someone leaves, where they go, and when an activity begins or ends.

Five two-story sections prepare vocabulary and grammar before moving through Supported Read, Independent Read, line-by-line meaning, comprehension checks, and a guided Make It Yours task. Reviews, a vocabulary reference, and an unscored Challenge Reading give the schedule language another useful context.

Built for kana-literate adult beginners, this volume turns time expressions and movement particles into a coherent day. It is the final Foundation reader before practical negative answers and choices.

The book is complete on its own. An optional ReadNihongo companion provides guided activities, word and grammar support, adjustable support paths, and next-day review without requiring an account.
