Japanese for Young People »

THE ASSOCIATION FOR JAPANESE-LANGUAGE TEACHING [AJALT] was recognized as a nonprofit organization by the Ministry of Education in 1977. It was established to meet the practical needs of people who are not necessarily specialists on Japan but who wish to communicate effectively in Japanese. In 1992 the Association was awarded the Japan Foundation Special Prize.

Renowned for its Japanese for Busy People series, The Association for Japanese-Language Teaching (AJALT) has developed a new comprehensive course for teaching Japanese to young adults in English-speaking countries.

Japanese for Young People is a new three-level series designed for junior high and high school students, with an optional starter level for elementary students. With an emphasis on the coordination of structure and verbal communication skills, this program builds upon the basics of Japanese grammar through the use of key sentences, dialogues, exercises, and entertaining activities. Exposure to spoken Japanese is facilitated by three compact discs.

Japanese for Young People provides the perfect foundation for learning one of the world's most difficult languages.
