More NHK Book & Audio Info
About a month ago I received the free book that NHK promised to send me. It's actually more of a booklet than a book, actually. It is free, though, and what you get is a hard copy of the dialogues for the Brush Up Your Japanese series of fifty-two audio lessons.
Apparently there is no text for the Basic Japanese series. There is also a handy reference guide to writing hiragana and katakana in the proper stroke order, as well as an overview map of Japan on the last page to top it off. The book is also small and thin enough to carry around easily.
When you click on the "key phrases" link on the NHK lesson page, you do get a gif image of that lesson's conversation, but the book also includes a small list of vocabulary underneath the dialogue.

My three year stay in Japan was finally discovered at immigrations. They kept me for two hours questioning my reasons for wanting another 90day tourist visa. I'd just arrived for a ten day visit to Thailand. Could that country have any connetion with the need to question my motives? I'd lived on tourist visa diets for three fun years. Had a Japanese bank account connected with my state side bank. Had a small apartment, cell phone in my name, library card, gaijin card, plus lots of friends. Arrived in Japan with only 90day visa. EAch exit necessary to renew that tourist visa was a 'needles eye'. Difficult sometimes but usually I received my visa stamp without any trouble. This last event was the catcher. '"Your not supposed to be living in japan" was all immigration officials would say. Never, "your braking the law" only "not supposed to be living in Japan." I'd never asked for anything other than another tourist visa on the numerios trips necessary to stretch my stay into a three year visit. Never did I tell faults details about my stay. Never did I suggest I was something other than a self financed tourist. Never did I accept or offer illegal info. about any path through immigration's red tape. My first inquire about a one year artist stay in Japan was brushed aside by consulate officials here in the states. My frustration mounted as departure date over took any possibility of a longer stay than Tourist visa offered. The counculate offical finally suggested , after numerious visits , 'Why not just go to japan and then visit Korea at the end of each 90day period?, Lots of American natonals do that without difficulty". I followed his suggestion. It worked for three years 'till the accumulated 90day stamps in my passport told a tale not comfortable for immigration officials to overlook. "Promise me you won't try to return to Japan until you change your statis to a Working visa or a Student visa. OK?" And so I closed down my life and came back to post 9/11 USA. What a shock. I sit and dream about returning,,,,,,,,,,,, permanently.
