Study while following the program While individual video clips are separately viewed on the website, the DVDs offer the entire program as broadcast on TV without changes. So if you view the videos as Erin and Honigon explain, the 20 minutes of each lesson will pass by very quickly.

Includes many video clips not available on the website “Japanese around the world,” a popular section of the TV broadcast, introduces many people studying or working with Japanese in different countries around the world. “Japanese High School Students,” original video clips on the DVDs, feature 10 Japanese high school students. These video clips allow you to practice Japanese and look at Japanese culture. They also raise the motivation to study Japanese.
