4th Revised Edition of JAPANESE FOR BUSY PEOPLE, the most popular Japanese language textbook series in the world. Now comes with free downloadable audio recordings.

Since it was first published in 1984, the focus of the Japanese for Busy People series has always been to teach Japanese for effective communication.

Japanese for Busy People III: The Workbook for the Revised 4th Edition focuses on speaking, listening, reading, and writing, with longer passages to challenge mid-beginner and intermediate-level learners.

The workbook supplements the exercises in the textbook to help learners better grasp the meaning of the expression introduced therein and give them practice using them in their own speech. Each unit also comes with slightly more challenging exercises intended for learners who wish to eventually proceed beyond intermediate Japanese.

The workbook can be used in parallel with the textbook or on its own, either in the classroom or for self-study.

Audio recordings and kanji worksheets can be downloaded for free from kodansha.us.
The Association for Japanese-Language Teaching (AJALT) was recognized as a nonprofit organization by the Japanese Ministry of Education in 1977. It was established to meet the practical needs of people who are not necessarily specialists on Japan but who wish to communicate effectively in Japanese. In 1992, AJALT was awarded the Japan Foundation Special Prize; and in 2010, it became a public interest incorporated association. AJALT created the best-selling Japanese for Busy People series, as well as the Japanese for Young People series, both published by Kodansha USA Publishing. AJALT’s website is www.ajalt.org.
