This is a new edition of Chukyu Zenki, one book in the Topikku ni yoru nihongo sōgō enshū tēma sagashi kara happyō e series.

Approximately 10 years have passed since we published the revised version of this book; consequently, the authors have updated old graph data, and made some revisions to the text in line with the times. A Vietnamese translation of the vocabulary and the grammar explanations has been added.

This book is created for the purpose of developing the ability to use Japanese for study and research. By the learner him/herself searching for themes related to a certain topic, through
doing research, considering the matter, and finally giving a presentation, he/she can develop various abilities in Japanese.

Even if the learners' backgrounds, interests and specialties are diverse, they can go beyond their countries of origin to share information on the following five topics covered in the book:

1. Travel
2. Shopping
3. Festivals
4. Gifts
5. Mass media
