Materials

Oppikirjana on Marugoto Nyuumon A1 Katsudoo (valkoinen kansi kirjassa). Sen lisäksi suosittelen ehdottomasti hankkimaan myös Marugoto Nyuumon A1 Rikai (vaaleanpunainen kansi kirjassa). Nyuumon tarkoittaa Beginner’s level. Kirjat kannattaa tilata nettikaupasta mahdollisimman pian, jotta ne ovat käytettävissä heti opetuksen alkaessa. Tästä listasta löydät listauksen nettikirjakaupoista, jotka myyvät kirjaa: https://www.sanshusha.co.jp/np/blog/recid/13/ (etsi Eurooppa listasta, siellä esim verasia.eu). Lisäksi kirjaa on myynnissä esim. Amazonissa, ja se on saatavana myös E-kirjana.
