Beginning Japanese (Parts I and II) contains thirty-five lessons, all
of which have the same basic pattern and involve the same procedures.
Each lesson requires many hours of class work supplemented by outside
study and, if possible, laboratory work. The second part of this series
contains lessons 21-35.
This textbook is concerned only with spoken Japanese. Reading and
writing involve a different set of habits and are best begun after
acquiring some basic control of the spoken language. It is suggested
that students interested in studying written Japanese begin using an
introductory reading text only after completing at least ten or fifteen
lessons of this volume.
