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 first part of this series contains lessons 1-20.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.

Based on the techniques of modern scientific linguistics, this original analysis of Japanese is also a text for beginning students in secondary schools and universities. The method is one of guided imitation, and the aim is to develop control of the language through memorization and manipulation of whole utterances. In addition to basic dialogues, detailed grammatical notes, conversations, narrative selections, and a glossary, the text contains more than 200 structured drills that provide pattern practice for approximately 2,500 sentences.
