There are four types of activity in each lesson: speaking, listening, reading, and writing, but generally there are more Speaking Activities. If your goal is to improve the conversation skills, we recommend that you utilize “Speaking Activities” and “Listening Activities”. You can download the coursebooks with audio files from IRODORI website.


IRODORI emphasizes listening input. It is important for you to listen to a lot of Japanese so that you can use it in real-life situations. Therefore, IRODORI provides plenty of audio files. With these audio files and materials, you can learn practical Japanese that you can use immediately.
