Genba No Nihongo: Worksite Japanese – Level 2 / Upper Beginner Edition

Genba no Nihongo is a brand-new set of books from 3A, the publishers responsible for the famous Minna No Nihongo series. The books are aimed to enable even beginner-level learners to get a good grasp of the Japanese required for use at worksites, as well as providing the cultural knowledge and a guide to workplace etiquette needed to work for a Japanese company. The series was designed to help overseas workers communicate better with their Japanese counterparts in many different frontline workplace settings, with a particular emphasis on the manufacturing and IT industries. In this second book of the series, each unit covers the same real-life workplace situations as in Level 1, such as listening to instructions or reporting a problem, but with new and more sophisticated vocabulary and expressions to deal with them at a more advanced level. Furthermore, as with Level 1, there are online audio and video content that those with this book have free access to, so you can really get a feel for what is happening and perform “tasks” relevant to each situation. This is a really novel approach and helps learners not only acquire the vocabulary and expressions needed for each situation but get a chance to really understand how to respond and act in a way required by Japanese companies. This is a very specific but ingenious book that efficiently gets people from different countries to the level of Japanese language proficiency and cultural understanding necessary for their work. Structure: - 10 units – each based on a different real-life workplace situation - Link to online audio and video content - Online vocabulary guides and translations (English, Chinese, Thai, Indonesian, and Vietnamese) - Online teacher’s guide - Listening scripts - Answer key Recommended for you if: - You are working in Japan, particularly (but not exclusively) in engineering or IT industries. - You will be starting a job in Japan soon. - You are a beginner learner (roughly at the level of Lesson 25 of Minna no Nihongo Shokyu II). - You want to pick up new specialized Japanese vocabulary and expressions.
