Getting Along In Japanese ( Shin Nihongo kurasoo) is a new Series  which presents the Japanese language through familiar daily situations. The target learners of this language series are people with little of Japanese - viewers are not overwhelmed by overcomplex grammar constructions or "kanji" characters that would be of little practical use on arrival in Japan. The setting is a traditional Japanese inn where the hosts teach their guests to communicate using practical and current expressions. Renowned Japanese DJ Katsuya Kobayashi and his daughter Kaori Itakura introduce Japanese through carefully dramatized skits designed to help beginning students learn to cope with everyday life in modern Japan. The acting is engaging and warm, with an emphasis on light-hearted humor.

Each video focuses on a specific situation that is common in everyday life, especially for foreigners visiting or living in Japan, and helps the student navigate both through the language and the cultural etiquette involved.
Shin Nihongo Kurasou is TV Course that been aired in TV once a week to teach foreigners who are living in Japan the japanese language. In total 25 Lessons, each lession is about 30 minutes with themes like : Paying compliments, Expressing wishes, Greetings, Offering to do even Getting angry or Picking up girls (^^;) 
In most episodes, there is also a “Kanji Corner” showed with another Miniskit, in some of the lessons the presentation changes to comic/animestyle. Daily situations presented from animecharakters.

If you’re looking to learn useful Japanese phrases, Nihongo de Kurasou is a pretty good show. But keep in mind it’s not for very beginners, its aiming for those students who know some words and grammatic in japanese. Before Shin Nihongo de Kurasou was aired as 2. Season there was another TV Course  for beginners called LETS LEARN JAPANESE, Yan San and the japanese people.

This TV Courses are made for REAL japanese language, the one the people speak - with slang, sentencefillers ( like :  anooo, eto, so des ne.. etc )  maybe it feels different when you just learn japanese by some textbook, but when you really wanna visit Japan or be able to understand the japanese language you should really take a look at this TV Course - made for everyday conversation. Not just pridefull japanese in textbookstyle you will get in languageschools.

This Set includes 2 DVDs with 25 Lessons, DVD has no regionalcode ( DVD can be played on every player )
with english subtitles in the lessionskits. BONUS :  Comes with the complete textbooks Volume 1+2+3 on CD
