  • Elementary Japanese Listening Materials I. ORGANIZATION Each lesson of the Elementary Japanese Listening Materials consists of three parts: (A) Dialog (B) Vocabulary (C) Listening Exercises For each lesson, the bookmarks pane (on the left) lists (i) lesson number, (ii) script, (iii) vocabulary, and (iv) (listening) exercises. Some lessons include additional materials. You can select any section in any order. Clicking a speaker icon on each page will start the default audio-player program of your computer, and you can hear the listening material. All audio files on this CD are in MP3 format. If your computer does not play the files, please consult your operating system manual. II. HOW TO USE THE LISTENING MATERIALS A. Dialog When you click on a lesson number in the bookmarks pane, the corresponding dialog comic strip page opens. Click on the speaker icon on the upper right-hand side of the page and listen to the dialog. It is recommended that you study the dialogs in three steps: (1) Listen to the lessons entire dialog, trying to understand the situation and the overall topic of

    the conversation. (2) Listen to each utterance in a dialog, trying to learn pronunciation and intonation. It is

    strongly recommended that you listen to each utterance multiple times and imitate it. Use the pause and playback functions of your audio-player program.

    (3) Listen to the entire dialog again, making sure that you thoroughly understand its content. If you are unable to recognize some speech sounds or not sure what an utterance means, you can click on the script bookmark to see the text accompanied by its English translation. B. Vocabulary Click on the vocabulary bookmark to see and listen to the corresponding vocabulary list. You will hear individual words in Japanese, each of which is followed by its English translation. There are two ways to use the vocabulary section: (1) Listen to the recording, following along with the vocabulary list on the screen. In this way,

    you can learn the relationships and develop the associations among the pronunciation, pitch accent, and the written form of each vocabulary item. Pay special attention to long vowels, long consonants, complex consonants, and the moraic nasal consonant ().

    (2) Listen to the recording without looking at the vocabulary list on the screen, making sure that you understand the meaning of each Japanese word. You can test how well you have learned each word. Use the pause button of your audio-player program after each Japanese word if you need more interval.

    C. Listening Exercises Exercise bookmarks open a listening exercises page, displaying the answer sheet of each lesson. (You can print a hard copy of the answer sheet, if you prefer.) By clicking speaker icons, you can listen to short dialogs and questions about them for listening comprehension practice. All the dialogs and questions have been composed using the grammatical constructions and the vocabulary items which have been introduced in the corresponding lesson or in those preceding it, so you should be able to understand the material. After studying each lesson, test your listening comprehension using this CD. If you are a self-learner, you can purchase the Elementary Japanese Teachers Guide, which provides the answer keys. III. UNIFIED VOCABULARY LIST This CD contains consolidated lists of vocabulary (Japanese-to-English and English-to-Japanese) from Lessons 1-14, both as PDF files and as an Excel spreadsheet. You can search a word or phrase in either format. In addition, you can sort the vocabulary in the Excel file, which is particularly convenient when you are writing an essay and you can see all of the verbs that you have already learned. First, click the top-left cell to highlight all cells. Next, click on Sort under the Data pull-down menu. Then specify the column(s) by which you would like to sort the data.
