A new grammar study book that combines fun and learning with manga and illustrations.
This Japanese language learning book is designed to help you master 70 frequently used beginner-level sentence patterns in an enjoyable and effective way. Comprised of three chapters, each chapter begins with a story manga and leads to a wealth of easy-to-understand sentence pattern practice and a variety of output-focused tasks.
The story is set in a small diner called "Shirai." This heartwarming tale of five characters revolving around a "cup of drink" is built around N4-level sentence patterns, allowing you to naturally encounter them just by reading the manga. The illustration-based sentence pattern practice is also connected to the story, allowing you to master sentence patterns in a usable form in context through the relationships between the characters.
Additionally, the tasks include a variety of smartphone activities and mini-speeches where you talk about yourself. By having fun and talking a lot, you can easily solidify and review the sentence patterns you've learned, improving your conversational ability.
This book offers a new approach that allows you to learn effectively while having fun.
