Japanese Workbook Vol.10

About this book

> YOU CAN READ THE NOTICES. NOW LIVE ON THE SCREEN IN JAPANESE: 300 EXPRESSIONS FOR CHAT, APPS AND ONLINE LIFE, 12 SCREEN DOCUMENTS, 12 WRITING TASKS. > > Finished Vol.1 through Vol.9? Your Japanese works on paper and face to face. But half of life in Japan now happens on a screen: the delivery notification, the password reset email, the city office app, the marketplace negotiation, the subscription you must cancel before it renews, the warning you must recognise as a scam. This is the volume that teaches the expressions digital Japan runs on, and makes you write with them. > > Inside: 300 practical expressions in 20 groups organised by scene — texting and chat basics, group chats and scheduling, social media posts and comments, online shopping and checkout, delivery tracking and receiving, marketplace apps, accounts and passwords, subscriptions and memberships, e-money and points, online banking, e-government procedures, e-tickets and QR reservations, food delivery apps, telework chat, video calls and online lessons, telemedicine and online pharmacy, map and transport apps, reviews and ratings, customer support chats, and digital safety. Every expression comes with its reading, romaji, meaning, a short usage note — the scene, the person it suits, the level of politeness, the trap to avoid — three natural example sentences in Japanese and English, and a practice space for three sentences of your own: your group chat, your delivery settings, your support inquiry. > > Plus 12 graded writing tasks in three stages — short messages, messages that handle a situation, then full pieces (a late-arrival chat, a redelivery request, a support inquiry, a marketplace negotiation, a meeting-absence message, a cancellation and refund request, a scam warning post, a course application, a detailed review) — each with a model answer that really uses this volume's expressions, a self-check list and a full writing grid. And 12 readings of real screen documents: a password reset email, a delivery status notification, a subscription renewal and price rise notice, a city office app guide, a telemedicine appointment confirmation, marketplace transaction messages, a suspicious sign-in warning, an e-money balance notice, a video meeting invitation, a points expiry notice, a restaurant queue app guide and a mobile plan change notice. Every reading in real Japanese, with a full English translation, key words and questions. > > 26,400+ guided practice squares. Review quizzes close every group, with a full answer key and an expression index at the back. A 12-week study plan in the front matter (25 expressions, one writing task and one reading a week) takes you through the whole book. All 300 expressions and all 12 readings are entirely new — zero overlap, no exceptions, against Vol.1–Vol.9: after this volume the series totals 4,200 words, 300 patterns, 600 expressions and 120 readings. > > Inside: 300 expressions with usage notes and example sentences · 12 graded writing tasks with models and checklists · 12 readings of screen documents · quizzes and answer key · 12-week plan. > > Made in Japan: this workbook was written by Japanese author Aki Wakamatsu and produced and published in Japan by Takikawa TOKOTOKO Kids LLC — a Japan-made workbook, written from inside the digital daily life it teaches.
