This set is specifically designed for participants who intend to start learning Japanese before coming to Japan. It not only gives basic information about the Japanese life, but introduces the participants to Japanese pronunciation, survival situational dialogs, script, basic words & expressions, and the first stage of grammar so that they can resume their program in Japan with a good solid foundation of the basic knowledge of the language acquired in advance. The Kit includes several sets of achievement tests, which participants can take and complete by themselves, and send by either e-mail or post. The results are analyzed and returned to participants with comments and advice for further progress.

These programs for Japanese characters and words shorten the learning time by 1/5 compared to the ordinary method. They use associations in English (a French version is also available for Kana.) With pictures and associations, the trainees can learn each of 46 Japanese syllables within 90 minutes, and are expected to recognize the meaning of 50 Kanji characters in 90 minutes. Also about 300 basic words are learned with witty puns and word associations.

More than 100 situational dialogs have been produced based on clients' actual experiences, and cover the functions and situations for their daily use of the language. This gives the trainees confidence to communicate in Japanese even after the first lesson as the textbook contains natural conversations, not a modified "classroom" Japanese. This comes with a CD or an audiotape.

This book contains survival kanji with pictures which are used for menus, street signs, tags, instructions and notices. It enables the trainees to be independent in reading and understanding the information necessary for their daily life.
