It does not contain English translations or English grammar explanations. English explanations are provided in a separate companion volume, Minna no Nihongo II Translation & Grammar Notes (translated editions available in English, Chinese, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Korean, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Thai, and other languages — sold separately). This is the designed pedagogy of the Minna series: students are immersed in Japanese in the Main Textbook, and consult the Translation & Grammar Notes companion volume separately for explanations in their native language. Most self-study learners purchase both books together; classroom learners often use just the Main Textbook in instructor-led classes. If you are a self-study English-speaker: you will likely also want the English-language Translation & Grammar Notes companion (ISBN 9784883196470 for the English edition) — sold separately, not included with this listing. 〇 〇 〇 About This Textbook Minna no Nihongo (みんなの日本語, "Everyone's Japanese") is the most widely-used beginner Japanese textbook in the world. First published by 3A Corporation in 1998, the series is the standard text at Japanese language schools (日本語学校 nihongo gakkou) for foreign students throughout Japan, and is used in university-level introductory Japanese programs at major institutions across the English-speaking world, Europe, Latin America, China, Korea, Southeast Asia, and beyond. The series follows the Shin Nihongo no Kiso (新日本語の基礎) pedagogical lineage developed for industrial trainees in the 1980s, refined and broadened for general adult learners. This volume is Minna no Nihongo II — the second of two main volumes in the elementary sequence. Minna no Nihongo I covers Lessons 1-25 and brings learners to roughly the JLPT N5 level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. This volume, Minna no Nihongo II, continues with Lessons 26-50 and brings learners to roughly the JLPT N4 level upon completion. Together the two volumes constitute the foundational beginner Japanese curriculum used at hundreds of Japanese language schools and university programs. This Second Edition (第2版, published March 2013) is a revision of the original 1998 edition. The vocabulary was updated to replace expressions that had fallen out of common usage with current expressions, conversational settings were updated to reflect contemporary Japanese society, additional review illustrations were added, and an audio CD was bundled with the book for listening practice. The grammar syllabus is essentially the same as the first edition, allowing for a smooth transition for teachers who had been using the original. Did You Know? The Minna no Nihongo series is the de facto standard textbook for the approximately 800-plus Japanese language schools (日本語学校) in Japan that prepare foreign students for university admission, employment, and daily life. Together with its companion translation volumes (which the publisher 3A Corporation has produced in more than ten languages), the series has been used to teach Japanese to literally millions of students from over a hundred countries since its first publication in 1998. The pedagogical philosophy is grounded in the principle that immersion in Japanese — even at the beginner level, even before learners can fully decode kanji — produces faster acquisition than translation-heavy approaches. The Main Textbook places the learner in Japanese from page one; the Translation & Grammar Notes companion volume serves as a reference. The result is one of the most pedagogically refined and globally-tested beginner Japanese curricula in the world. 〇 The Minna no Nihongo II Series Ecosystem 〇 The complete Minna no Nihongo II curriculum comprises the following volumes, sold separately: Main Textbook (本冊) — this volume · ISBN 9784883196463 · entirely in Japanese with furigana Translation & Grammar Notes (翻訳・文法解説) — separate companion in English, Chinese, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Korean, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Thai, and other language editions Workbook (標準問題集) — practice problems and exercises (separate) Sentence Pattern Workbook (文型練習帳) — focused pattern practice (separate) Kanji Textbook (漢字) — kanji study companion for Lessons 26-50 (separate) Teacher's Manual (教え方の手引き) — for instructors only (separate) 〇 What's Covered in Minna II (Lessons 26-50) 〇 Lessons 26-50 — building on Minna I's Lessons 1-25 foundation Complex Sentence Patterns — embedded clauses, relative clauses, complex modifiers Conditional Forms — たら, ば, と, なら forms and when to use each Causative & Passive — making someone do something; being acted upon Honorific Language (敬語 keigo) — introduction to sonkeigo (respect) and kenjougo (humble) forms Conjunctions & Discourse Markers — moving beyond simple sentence connection Expressing Intent, Plans, & Hypothesis — つもり, よてい, かもしれない, でしょう Quoted & Reported Speech — と言いました, と思います constructions Reading Practice — extended reading passages building kanji recognition Conversation Practice — realistic dialogue scenarios for each lesson Vocabulary Build — ~750-1,000 additional vocabulary items (estimated, building on Minna I) Furigana Throughout — small hiragana above kanji for reading support 〇 〇 〇 🎌 JLPT N4 TargetCompleting this book brings learners to roughly the JLPT N4 proficiency level. 🏫 日本語学校 StandardThe de facto textbook at 800+ Japanese language schools in Japan. 🌏 Global AdoptionUsed in university Japanese programs worldwide for over 25 years. 📖 Immersion PedagogyEntirely in Japanese with furigana — the Minna immersion approach. 🎓 敬語 IntroductionFirst exposure to Japanese honorific language (keigo) systems. 🔄 Continues Minna ILessons 26-50, building on Minna I's Lessons 1-25 foundation.
