Textbook: Nakama Vol. 1 by Makino and Hatasa plus the Workbook

Nakama is a new textbook which tries to bring practical, everyday Japanese into the language classroom with an emphasis on gaining language proficiency. Each lesson has clear objectives in terms of teaching the students to be able to carry out certain language tasks: introducing yourself, meeting others, talking about yourself, getting around, counting, shopping, telling time, etc. Your text, and the materials which accompany it, including the tapes, workbook and any computer materials are your keys to a successful language learning experience. In this class, you must be able to learn by ear because speaking skills cannot be learned solely through the eye. All our work in class and the studying you do at home are based on this principle. Feel free to consult the Nakamawebpage.

Workbook: Hatasa & Hatasa Workbook/Laboratory Manual (WB) contains exercises and homework assignments to accompany each lesson. Portions of assignments may be on the student tape.
