Nakama 1 Enhanced is a complete, flexible introductory program designed to present the fundamentals of the Japanese language to college students.

Presented in two parts, NAKAMA 1A and NAKAMA 1B, the program focuses on proficiency-based language learning, emphasizes practical communication and student interaction, and fosters the development of all four language skills and cultural awareness.

Thematically organized chapters focus on high-frequency communicative situations and introduce users to the Japanese language and its three writing systems: hiragana, katakana, and kanji.

Maintaining the program's balanced approach, the new edition features updated technology resources, new authentic art, and practical, contemporary vocabulary to enhance learning.
