Japanese for College Students: Basic is a genuinely integrated and comprehensive approach to learning every aspect of beginning Japanese: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It uses the three Japanese scripts--hiragana, katakana, and kanji--from the outstart and employs traditional Japanese subscript pronunciation guides (rubi) where necessary. Pattern formation, short drills, grammar notes, roleplays, reading exercises, tapes, and 400 kanji form the core of Japanese for College Students.

Each volume consists of the following (with cassette tapes available separately):

• Listening and speaking
• Pattern formation practice
• Short drills
• Grammar notes
• Roleplaying
• Reading passages
• Writing exercises
• Word lists
• Two vocabulary indexes
• Kanji index
