Dialogues for Nakama 1: Ch. 2 - Ch. 5

On the following pages, there are a series of まんが (cartoon) for dialogues to be memorized at home and performed in class. The まんが shown below has English cues that are numbered as "1," "2," "3," etc. for your convenience. Note that these cues represent the main idea for each utterance and not the literal translation of the Japanese sentences.

You should:

  1. Look at the まんが for each situation.
  2. Listen to the dialogue on the CD.
  3. Practice dialogues until you become able to reproduce your lines without looking at the dialogue.
