Human Japanese Intermediate

Welcome aboard your rocket ship to the next level of Japanese.

Human Japanese Intermediate is an extensive resource that will advance your Japanese language skills. If you enjoyed the first Human Japanese, you'll be even more delighted with Intermediate. (And if you're new to Human Japanese, welcome! You can find a complete list of content by chapter at www.humanjapanese.com/intermediate.)

In Human Japanese Intermediate, you will find:

• Over 40 comprehensive chapters
• More than 2600 example sentences and dialogs with clear recordings of male and female speech
• Kanji animations, illustrations, and tips
• Engaging photos and cultural notes
• Intelligent quizzes that track your progress and assist in areas of difficulty
• INGREDIENTS™ example sentence breakdowns for optimal clarity

Similar to its predecessor, Human Japanese Intermediate is based on the idea that the most effective way to learn and comprehend Japanese is through explanations provided by someone who speaks your language. Core concepts are presented in a friendly and accessible manner, with frequent comparisons to aspects of English. This approach demystifies and sheds light on the fundamental components of the language, going beyond basic vocabulary and canned phrases found in many other products.

The explanations come alive with interactive example sentences - over 2600 in total - allowing you to immediately see and hear what you are learning.

Keep on track with the innovative INGREDIENTS™ example sentence breakdowns. Each sentence includes an icon that provides an instant lookup of every word, including conjugated forms. This feature ensures a seamless learning experience, preventing any disruption in the midst of an intriguing discussion due to a momentary lapse in word understanding.

KANJI

Human Japanese Intermediate delves into kanji extensively. At the end of most chapters, new kanji characters are introduced, accompanied by animations, example sentences, illustrations, writing tips, and more. Our aim is not to overwhelm you with a load of characters; instead, we meticulously explain how everything works.

To achieve this, Human Japanese Intermediate keeps track of the kanji you've learned and automatically adjusts the "spelling" of words in example sentences according to your progress. For instance, early on, you might encounter the following sentence:

そのひとの　なまえを　しらない。

But later, after you've become familiar with several kanji used in these words, the version you would see is:

その人の　名前を　知らない。

This approach removes the overwhelming sense of encountering countless unfamiliar characters in sentences. It enables you to stay focused and motivated.

QUIZZES

Strengthen your skills with five different types of quizzes: chapter reviews, vocabulary, conjugation, kanji stroke order, and kanji flashcards.

The quizzes keep track of your correct and incorrect answers, helping you concentrate on areas requiring improvement.

And when you answer a question incorrectly, it's not simply a "Try again." Whenever possible, the quiz provides a question-specific hint to aid in memory retention and learning.

PHOTOS AND CULTURAL NOTES
