Japanese Grammar 100 in Plain English - Paperback

by Yumi Boutwell (Author), Clay Boutwell (Author)

Painlessly Learn Beginner Level Japanese Grammar.Starting your journey in a new language is not only exciting but deeply rewarding. However, the foundation of your learning should be solid and structured. It's crucial to steer clear of scattered or non-essential information that could dampen your enthusiasm as the initial excitement wanes.

Our book is crafted to introduce vital grammatical points methodically and concisely. We prioritize the most essential grammar, organizing them according to their frequency in beginner-level resources. While this book is certainly not a substitute for a comprehensive textbook or an in-depth grammar guide, it serves as an effective introductory or supplementary tool.

We provide concise explanations for each grammatical concept, ensuring that each of our hundred lessons can be completed in under ten minutes with few exceptions. While a single sitting won't make you a master, it will acquaint you with new concepts, making them more approachable in future studies or when encountered in your textbook.

Think of each lesson as meeting a new person:

• from a Stranger (a completely new grammatical concept),
• to an Acquaintance (familiar but not fully understood),
• and eventually to a Friend (well-understood and usable, though not yet perfectly).

Our aim is to help you transform these grammatical 'Strangers' into 'Acquaintances' or 'Friends'.

**BONUS #1**: Gain insight with an article detailing the top ten beginner mistakes-arm yourself with knowledge to avoid common pitfalls.

**BONUS #2**: Enhance your learning with FREE sound files for every example discussed (find the link on the book's last page).

This guide is your first step toward building a solid grammatical foundation, making your subsequent Japanese language journey smoother and more enjoyable.
