5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely useful means for getting an overview of Japanese, 2 Jan 2002

By	Alan Shore ; alan@sees.bangor.ac.uk (Wales,UK) - See all my reviews

This book was recommended ( and actually bought for me ) by a Japanese friend who is a trained teacher of Japanese for English-speaking students. This was chosen for use as a first introduction to Japanese and I have found it most effective.The book presents the main patterns of Japanese sentences and represents them in terms of a number of formulae which aid memorising.

The book presents the basic structures of 50 key sentences. Offers examples of their usage as well as giving examples of informal ( conversational )usage which derive from the given examples.

The book has useful pointers to other resources for developing competence in the language.I expect ,in particular, to utilise other books by the same author.I whole-heartedly recommend this book for those requiring an entry-level text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise reference text, 2 Jul 2004

By	D. Clarke (Cheshire UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This dictionary provides a good refernce for someone who has already learnt some Japanese and is familiar with the script, although it does have Romaji help too.
The examples are good and varied in polite and plain forms as well as occassional experssions used only between specific types of people e.g. women, business colleagues, children.
This is not however a good text to start learning Japanese.
