Essential Japanese Grammar: A Comprehensive Guide to Contemporary Usage [Tanimori, Masahiro, Sato, Eriko] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Essential Japanese Grammar: A Comprehensive Guide to Contemporary Usage

Review: A great daily-use reference for particles and common use grammar - Any language text with a subtitle of "Write and Speak ____ like a native!" makes me a bit leery, but this is a great text. No, it won't make you write and speak like a native, but it will help you cement your previous learning and provide a bridge from elementary level texts (Genki I+II, etc.) into the intermediate level texts (for example: An Integrated Approach to Intermediate Japanese by Miura & McGloin). The book is thoughtfully organized with explanations and examples being clear and helpful. Also because the book is divided into learning ("Japanese Grammar: An Overview") and reference ("Dictionary of Usage") sections, it remains useful as a quick reference book for looking up particle (and other grammar) usages long after you've made your way through the learning section of the book. I'm JLPT N5 certified and when translating Japanese light novels, I use this book as my primary reference when I come across something that I need to look up. While it's not comprehensive (I come across usages that aren't covered from time to time), this the best book on Japanese particles (and common use grammar) that I've found and I use it almost daily.
Review: A must for anyone learning Japanese - This book is so awesome. Breaks down Japanese grammar into two parts, first an overview of the different components of Japanese grammar, then a dictionary of how these components function. Both sections have been so helpful in my struggle to grasp this difficult language. Get it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ High level linguistic guide
*by S***R on January 13, 2022*

This is my third book in studying the Japanese language and by far this text book is very technical. If you have not learned Hiaragana or Katakana you will want to buy another book first before picking this one up. The focus of this book is aimed at those who already have a grasp at the Japanese language as well as the English language. There were many times when I was learning something such as moras and adjecunal nouns without being aware of what they were in English. It is a good read, but study easier books first.
