Self-studiers can also use it as a standalone workbook for practicing and learning Japanese on their own.

Included audio recordings contains drills, dialogs, and listening comprehension exercises for activities in the workbook.

Contemporary Japanese is a textbook series for beginning students of Japanese at the college or high school level. It is intended for classroom use as well as self-study. Each lesson in the books is concise and has a single, clearly-defined objective. All lessons make use of the "active discovery" approach which encourages rapid learning through "guess and try" problem-solving and participation as opposed to rote memorization. This highly efficient method uses real-life conversations that make learning fun by involving you in discussion with your peers. It also removes the fear of saying something wrong!
