(できる日本語) is a task‑based Japanese textbook series aimed at learners who want to develop practical communication skills. Unlike grammar‑syllabus books (e.g., Minna no Nihongo or Genki), Dekiru Nihongo organizes lessons around real‑life situations (e.g., introducing yourself, shopping, making appointments). Each chapter presents a “Can‑do” goal, then provides vocabulary, expressions, and listening/reading tasks to achieve it.
