About this title

Synopsis

Boost your language skills with this time travel-themed book!

Using an integrated set of multimedia tools, this book's exciting new approach to Japanese teaches you to speak, read and write the language naturally. Intermediate Japanese continues the story of Kiara, an American student who travels through time to exciting periods in Japan's past—learning to speak, read and write the language along the way. Her adventures allow her to meet fascinating people and visit famous places.

The book's manga-style drawings and photos make the learning process fun! Intermediate Japanese introduces 150 additional Kanji characters and teaches you to form and understand conversational sentences. Free online audio recordings complement the book, helping you to develop good pronunciation and comprehension skills.

Whether you are planning to travel to Japan, preparing for your Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) exams, or learning Japanese for the sheer joy of it, Intermediate Japanese will bring you one step closer to fluency!
