Learn Japanese: Book 1

Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking

By Ritsuko and James Clarke

This superb Book and Audio CD is a great introduction to the Japanese Language. It can also be used as a complement to classroom studies or a refresher for former students of Japanese.

Ritsuko Clarke has been teaching Japanese to Australian primary school students for the last 6 years, prior to that she was a primary school teacher in Japan. The book and audio CD are based on her lessons developed over this time which have proven effective in the classroom environment.

In the primary schools where Ritsuko teaches, each class group receives one 45 minute Japanese Class per week (this is standard in Western Australia), this book covers the material for 3 years of classes. In the future Ritsuko hopes to continue the series with books 2 and 3.
