Japanese course **JAPANESE for all. I1

The course of Practical Grammar is based on the principles of structural linguistics, when the learning unit is the phrase. Language functions as an organic, but complex unity. It is on account of this complexity that the attention of a beginner cannot be focussed simultaneously on specifically different aspects of a new language. Therefore in the teaching process different aspects should be presented separately, one at a time, until the day comes when all the elements which were learned separately can be reintegrated into one living language. Thus, rather than dealing with all or several of the aspects of the Japanese language in one place, these materials deal primarily with sentence patterns.
