4.0 out of 5 stars Just the approach I wanted, 21 Jun 1999
By A Customer
I was looking for a book that would explain the structure of Japanese sentences and not just have me parrot phrases, and this book does it. It starts out with a quick guide to pronunciation and Hiragana and Katakana characters and then begins on the lessons. Each lesson opens with a dialogue written in both Hiragana and Ramaji which contains new words, and then goes on to explain the gramar of the sentences in the conversation. Vocabulary is defined along the borders of each page in the lesson. After the gramar section a series of exercises are presented which ask you to make new sentences, give you additional vocabulary, and have you replace words in a given sentence. Each lesson builds on the previous ones. If it came with some cassette tapes and maybe some help on writing Hiragana and Katakana it would be perfect.
