Description: This is a clear simple and compact guide to colloquial, everyday Japanese grammar. Basic Japanese Grammar teaches all the grammar you need to speak Japanese and understand simple spoken Japanese. Covering what is essential, it provides an efficient way for learners who have limited time to learn Japanese and begin to communicate naturally with Japanese speakers. It is intended for self-study or classroom use. It offers a practical course in colloquial Japanese but leaves aside forms that are unnecessary or little used as well as those that are more important for written Japanese. In short chapters, it helps the user understand the logic of Japanese grammar, while its straightforward explanations and clear examples make learning as easy as possible. The grammar section includes a glossary of grammatical terms and an index, as well as appendixes on Japanese pronunciation and verb conjugation. All Japanese words and phrases are written in Kanji and Kana (Hiragana and Katakana) as well as Romanized Japanese (Romanji) and English. Explanations are given in English.

Review: On first read, I found the book to b helpful. However, I have since learned Hiragana and Katakana and I keep finding errors in the romaji / kana transcriptions. Many are to do with the wrong words being transcribed (ikura in romaji, ikaga in kana) but there are also cases where the mistakes cause the grammar to be incorrect (missing accent over a vowel in romaji). A hour's proof-reading could make this a good book and I can't believe this hasn't been done - the book is not newly published.
