Along with each audio track you get the full transcript of the conversation in rōmaji, Japanese characters, and English translation so that you can keep up with the lessons! You’ll learn to listen to, speak, and understand modern Japanese. Here’s the transcript for a basic conversation you will hear in the very first lesson:
Kenny: Sayaka san, konnichiwa!
Sayaka: Kenī san, konnichiwa! O genki desu ka?
Kenny: Genki desu, arigatō, anata wa?
Sayaka: Watashi mo genki desu, arigatō.

Kenny: Hello, Sayaka!
Sayaka: Hello, Kenny! How are you?
Kenny: I’m good, thank you, and you?
Sayaka: I’m good too, thank you.
In addition to the conversations themselves, you get extra vocabulary and cultural tips, plus the super helpful Reviews that begin each new lesson!
