When I say the authors thought of everything beginners and intermediate learners should really know, I mean exactly that.
NAKAMA STUDENT ACTIVITIES MANUAL 3RD HOW TO
The book explains the name suffixes -san, -kun, and -chan well, and makes a note of when and how these should be used so that you don’t anger someone of authority such as a teacher, elder, etc.Īs for verb and adjective conjugation, there are MANY detailed charts and other visuals that explain exactly how to conjugate them depending on the situation, the person or people you are in a conversation with, etc. 🙂Ĭonjugation is super important in this language due to certain verb or adjective endings and prefixes and suffixes for words, names, and titles having certain meanings and extensions of expressions. This textbook and workbook (which has plenty of space for writing practice, of course) can save you the pain and humiliation of having a group of Japanese kids laugh and grab the pencil out of your hands mid-word. Each chapter uses the kanji in easy-to-understand ways and even draws out pictures to show where the symbols came from.Įach kanji is hand-written/ hand-printed stroke by stroke, which is important when writing.īefore learning about stroke order, I had Japanese friends laugh and correct me when I wrote kanji in front of them because as they said, “That’s just how we do it”. The kanji or Chinese-adopted characters are introduced in every chapter. Perhaps the best asset to this textbook is its articulacy in issuing instruction.
NAKAMA STUDENT ACTIVITIES MANUAL 3RD PRO
The con above is a pro as well due to the amount of content, which means that you can keep yourself busy and won’t necessarily need to buy another textbook or another website subscription for weeks, months, or even a year. If you don’t, you will burn out, and I’m sure other language learners, myself included, can tell you horror stories about loss of motivation while studying and learning and how pacing your learning and taking breaks and focusing on 1 lesson or chapter at a time will be best.īut if you really think about it – this con is also a pro, isn’t it? The pros of the Nakama 1 textbook The important thing to remember here is to pace yourself.
My point is that there is so much content and so much detailed information within each of the 12 chapters that it seems very overwhelming and you might feel like giving up because the textbook doesn’t seem like it is ever going to end.
Did I mention there are 518 pages? That’s more pages than 3 individual Harry Potter books which have less than 320 pages each (UK version). It’s too big, or rather it has an abundance of content within it. However, the vocabulary is indeed relevant (family members, body parts, useful adjectives, etc.), and I can guarantee you will need them all if you plan on being adept in the Japanese language and adapting to everyday life and everyday conversations. Honestly, I’m all for heaps of vocabulary, but at the same time I have to admit that 89 vocabulary words is a bit over the top for just one chapter. So, the biggest mark-off I sensed out of all 518 pages’ worth of lessons is that in any given chapter, there can be up to 89 vocabulary words (chapter 10), or at least that’s the most that I counted. Plus, I’d rather end on a positive note because I’m such a positive person. I’m going to start off with the cons of the textbook and workbook because it isn’t really that bad. The internet helped a lot, and by the time I bought the book (along with its workbook), I already knew basic vocabulary, hiragana, and some kanji, but I never imagined how much more I would know and how detailed the answers to my newfound questions would be by the end of the textbook.

I had no idea about more complex sentences and phrases, idioms, etc., until I cracked open the Nakama 1 textbook. I wasn’t in the big leagues of linguistics by asking such small, childish questions like those above (although they did help with the very beginning of this journey). I felt as though everything I needed was on my computer screen but I wasn’t asking more interesting and in-depth questions. “Where are the question marks, and why does the period look like a bubble?” “How do I express feelings about this or that?” There are so many PuniPuni videos and others like it online, so I thought it would be easy to learn Japanese because (as it seemed at the time) there was always a video which answered every burning question I asked.
