The Shin Nihongo no Kiso introductory-level books and tapes were developed principally to enable technical trainees visiting Japan for short periods to study Japanese conversation Their ease of use by both students and teachers and their effectiveness in developing a firm grounding in basic Japanese earned them an excellent reputation, and they rapidly became popular. They are now enjoying even wider use than the original Nihongo neo Kiso series on which they are based. For some time now, instructors and students of Japanese using the Shin Nihongo no Kiso series both inside and outside Japan have been asking us to provide them with kanji study materials. We therefore decided to respond to these requests and publish this workbook to help students acquire a basic knowledge of kanji while they study elementary Japanese us- ing Shin Nihongo no Kiso I. The book aims to help students become competent in reading and writing the kanji contained in Levels 4 and 3 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test and develop the basic ability necessary for proceeding to Level 2. We are confident that stu dents will find the workbook an indispensable companion to Shin Nihongo no Kiso. In preparing this workbook, we received valuable advice from organizations such as the Association for Overseas Technical Scholarship, the Asian Students’ Cultural Association and the Technological Promotion Association (Thai-Japan), as well as from Japanese-language instructors in teaching establishments both at home and abroad. | should like to take this opportunity of thanking all of these people here. We plan to publish a sequel to this workbook, entitled Shin Nihongo no Kiso Japanese Kanji Workbook II (English Version), to be used in conjunction with Shin Nihongo no Kiso I. The advice and support of students and teachers in this endeavour would be great ly appreciated. September 1992 Hajime Fukumoto President, 3A Corporation
