A Japanese language primer written in Sinhala for Sinhala speakers. The whole book — explanations, guidance, the framing of each point — is in Sinhala, so a working knowledge of the language is needed to use it. International buyers should order it on that basis.
Nanda Malalasekara pitches the book at beginners coming to Japanese with no prior grounding, and at students taking the language at Advanced Level. It is also aimed at two groups with a practical reason to learn: people preparing to take up work in Japan, and those employed in Sri Lanka's tourism trade, where Japanese visitors are a regular part of the job.
The publisher presents it as a book that can be worked through without a teacher, for self-study by a reader who has no class to attend and no tutor to ask.
M. D. Gunasena & Co. is an established Colombo publishing house with a long presence in Sinhala-language educational publishing.
Of interest to Sinhala readers abroad who want a Japanese course explained in their first language rather than through English, and to households keeping Sinhala-medium study material within reach of children and relatives overseas.
