<b>4th Revised Edition of JAPANESE FOR BUSY PEOPLE, the most popular Japanese language textbook series in the world.</b><br><br>Since it was first published in 1984, the focus of the <i>Japanese for Busy People </i>series has always been to teach Japanese for effective communication.<br><br>As suggested in the title, this is a concise course for busy students who want to learn natural, spoken Japanese as efficiently as possible in a limited amount of time.<br><br>The new <i>Japanese for Busy People: Revised 4th Edition </i>is made up of three volumes: Book I, Book II, and Book III. Book I is available in both romanized and <i>kana</i> versions, similar to the Revised 3rd Edition.<br><br>The <i>Kana Version </i>is exactly the same as the <i>Romanized Version</i> except for the scripts used throughout the book: <i>hiragana</i> and <i>katakana</i>.<br><br>The <i>Kana Version </i>is therefore recommended for those who have already learned <i>kana</i> (as these scripts are collectively called) or are learning them with <i>Japanese for Busy People Kana Workbook</i> or another such text. Studying Japanese in <i>kana</i>, rather than in romanized script, can lead to fluent pronunciation and facilitate a smooth transition to the study of <i>kanji</i>.
