Index for Part 2: Conversation

This part has two sections. In the first section, the lessons contain relatively short expressions, and in the second section, lessons give dialogues. You can practise fixed expressions, for example general greetings and small filler words in the former section, and authentic conversation full of commonly used phrases in the latter. Both sections come with video clips, and in the dialogues you can see how people interact and speak naturally in Japanese. English translations are given for the expressions and dialogues, and sometimes literal or supplementary translation, or explanation is added in parentheses.

 

Section 1: Useful Expressions

In this section you can work through lessons building up your knowledge of useful expressions.

Section 2: Dialogues

In this section you can practise your dialogue skills.
