The Japan Foundation undertakes various cultural initiatives aimed at increasing Japan's international profile and promoting mutual understanding between Japan and other countries. We believe that our work, including our efforts in Japanese language teaching, should contribute to this mutual understanding, especially in situations involving international cultural exchange.
The course book "Marugoto: Japanese Language and Culture" was developed for adults who want to learn Japanese as a foreign language. This book is based on the JF Standard for Japanese Language Teaching and emphasizes effective communication in Japanese, as well as understanding and respect for other cultures. The book is designed to make studying Japanese language and culture enjoyable, even when not in Japan.
Each lesson in "Marugoto: Japanese Language and Culture" addresses situations in which people from diverse cultural backgrounds communicate in Japanese. Students can experience various aspects of Japanese culture through photos and illustrations, while listening to natural conversations that unfold in each situation.
We hope that this book will help people around the world become fully familiar with the Japanese language and culture, just as it is with the people who actually live in this culture and speak it. Intertaal is your reliable supplier and guarantees fast delivery of this learning resource.
