We fulfill the learners' feelings of wanting to communicate and know. This textbook aims to help students understand each other through actual communication. Each topic depicts a situation where people from diverse cultural backgrounds interact in Japanese, and there are hints for understanding different cultures in various places such as the content of the conversations, photographs, and illustrations. It also emphasizes the role of audio input in language learning, and includes many classroom activities that involve listening to natural conversations. The goals for each lesson are set in the form of can-dos, such as "What can you do using Japanese?'' Aim for a level where you can communicate.
Beginner 1 (A2) consists of two books: "Katsudo" and "Rikai". At Katsudou, we aim to develop practical communication skills through listening to a lot of Japanese and practicing speaking. At "Rikai,'' you can systematically learn about the mechanisms of Japanese that are necessary for communication. Both "Katsudo" and "Rikai" are the main teaching materials and have the same topics. You can use either one depending on your learning purpose, or you can study both to improve your Japanese language skills comprehensively.

Kanda University of Foreign Studies/Kanda University of Foreign Studies Career College Head Instructor Mr. Kaoru Seki
"Before I knew it, Japanese was coming into my ears and I was able to have real communication.''
Since I came to Japan, I wanted to talk to Japanese people in Japanese. There are many foreigners who think that they can't speak unless they learn this, or they can't listen unless they understand this. With "Marugoto,'' you can listen to it first and start with a basic understanding, which greatly lowers the hurdle. There's also the fun of discovering the rules yourself. And before you know it, you'll be able to hear Japanese and have real communication. Marugoto is such a text. It is popular not only with students but also with teachers who teach it.

Educational materials for learning "practical Japanese". Ideal for both short-term and long-term international students.
At Lexis Japan, more than 80% of international students are from European and English-speaking countries. In addition, their length of stay varies from a minimum of one week to a maximum of one year, and the purpose of studying abroad differs depending on whether they are short-term or long-term international students. "Marugoto'', which is divided into detailed levels, is the perfect textbook for both short-term and long-term international students. Can do statements and CEFR level classification are very familiar to our international students who have been educated in Europe and English-speaking countries, and we have received feedback from international students in the sense of acquiring "practical Japanese''. is also very good.
