Japanese Writing for Higher Proficiency

Aimed for intermediate to advanced-level students, this very popular versatile study guide will help you improve your Japanese writing skills in a wide range of areas. Although the majority of writing textbooks focus on formal compositions, this book teaches you how to write things from text messages and memos to the marketing copy, posters, and even resumes. The book teaches the user to carefully consider the audience for your writing and how that will impact the format, structure, and style of your composition, whether it’s making an appointment with your teacher via email or writing a blog post. After giving you the opportunity to have a go yourself, there are exercises that help you understand common errors in writing, which often correspond with the mistakes you have likely made on your first attempt. There is also a section that helps you to use expressions of different degrees of formality and explains different nuances of written and spoken business language, making it a perfect companion for those who need Japanese writing skills for their job at a Japanese company. It is easy to understand why this book is a frequent top recommendation on many Japanese learning sites, often described as “the best and only textbook for Japanese writing skills.”
