Notes: "These videos accompany the text of the same name, published by Yale University Press.Through these materials, the student is introduced to the structure of Japanese society. In over 200 scenes, this 3-part video series dramatically illustrates the core conversations contained in the textbooks. Each scene realistically depicts daily life situations ranging from single exchanges on the beginning level to extended dialogues of complexity usually associated with advanced levels of language instruction. All conversation is natural discourse, at normal speed.". Director: Makoto Koizumi. Color. Country: Japan. No Subtitles.
