Review: I am learning Japanese all by myself and making very good progress. This book is one of my KEY TOOLS. Indeed I find it indispensable. It has exactly the right balance between simplicity and digging deep into the grammar. If you use this book, you need to have some interest in the grammatical parts of Japanese . It is organized with some general chapters on Sentence Construction, Verbs, Adjectives etc. followed by an alphabetical main part on all kinds or words and expressions of importance. For each of these entries there is a good introduction of a few lines followed by sentence examples given in English and in Japanese in both Roma-ji and Kanji-Kana. I do not read kanji-Kana but look at the signs enables me to compare them with words in my general Dictoonaries and so they are of help. I wholeheartedly recommend this book for anybody seriously studying Japanese. I NOW ADD to my review this: I am just beginning to learn some Kana using the book and the TUTTLE Kana Flashcards which I have also purchased. In fact, the book here reviewed has some "typographical errors" but it becomes great fun to decipher what is actually mreant using my dictionarires and the kana/kanji text in the book. I never though typos could be an indirect help :-) I am actually working the book in the way that I for each of the alphabetical entries make a Table in WORD with the following columns: English sentence,m Japanese sentence, notes and words used (two columns for english and Japanese version so f the wotrds). This way I get really deep and can reyturn to try the sentences, having help from my dictionary entries. Eventually I shall be able to print out the more important parts of the book this way. I cannot praise this book too much! I just now purchased also the TUTTLE CONCISE DICTIONARY and look forward to see how this will work.

Review: Je suis un peu déçu, le livre n'est pas vraiment un cours de grammaire, il ne fait que décrire tel ou tel point grammatical, je ne suis d'ailleurs pas sûr s'il est complet ou non. Il prend les mots utilisés dans la langue japonaise qui ont une fonction grammaticale et dit voilà on les utilise dans cette situation et celle là et voilà un exemple et puis c'est fini. À aucun moment il ne dit pourquoi on les utilise, ne donne aucune raison, ne dit pas à quel moment il est nécessaire de les utiliser, ni comment. En ce sens c'est plus un dictionnaire grammatical qu'un cours d'apprentissage. Donc ne vous attendez pas à savoir utiliser les notions grammaticales japonaises si vous achetez ce livre, vous ne saurez pas les utiliser. À la limite une recherche Google est tout aussi efficace et moins coûteuse.
