The simple and practical charm of the long-running Minna no Nihongo series of textbooks has made them popular worldwide for their direct and practical introduction to the Japanese language. The revised 2nd edition of this volume builds on Minna no Nihongo I, with new illustrations and updated vocabulary that expose you to contemporary Japanese conversations and topics. This allows you to build excitingly on a basic knowledge of Japanese with more complex sentence structure exercises and varied drills that create interesting and memorable content. Both practical vocabulary and grammar are significantly expanded in this volume, allowing students to quickly expand the complexity of their sentences and integrate Japanese skills into a variety of typical scenarios. This contributes to improved reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills through a deeper understanding of Japanese in common formats, using short texts, answer sheets, dialogues, and the accompanying listening CD.
