Product Information

Finally, there are a ton of indexes at the end of the book that cover things like pairs of transitive and intransitive verbs, counters, the “ko-so-a-do” and a lot more. What it Does Well So, I guess it would be best to pair this book with a beginner course or something. That way you can look up confusing grammar patterns in the book while you progress through the main learning materials. Another thing that a lot of people didn’t like was the fact that the book uses romaji for the readings of all words. This is the only book I've found that does not require you to know the English grammatical term for what you want to look up. You simply identify the structure in Japanese that you're looking for and find it alphabetically. There are a handful of things that don't really have a set pattern to look up (ex. relative clauses) for which you just look up the English, but that is the significant minority of cases.

Anyway, for some of the entries you also get notes from the authors that might explain a nuance to the grammar, or talk about certain situations where there are exceptions. That’s just one of the things you have to get used to when learning Japanese. The language also heavily relies on particles and there are 188 of these in Japanese! Plus, there are multiple levels of politeness. But it’s also nice to not worry about noun genders, plural forms, and complicated conjugations.What I'm try to say is this: You'll find what you're looking for and probably understand it.
