はじめまして!
Thank you for taking at a look at my Intermediate guide to Japanese Grammar!
My first Japanese textbook touched on the basics of Japanese grammar and focused mostly on JLPT 4 and 5 material. This second book in may series focuses on JLPT 3 and 2 material, and if you have read my first book this should be a great continuation for what you have already learned.
Who is this book for?
This book is perfect for...
- upper beginner to intermediate speakers
- those looking to pass the JLPT 3
- those looking for a book with an emphasis on grammar
- those that want to learn more colloquial Japanese
What is in the book?
In this book you will find lessons over 70 chapters on...
- combining multiple sentences into one with か
- describing how something appears with みたいだ
- describing what you thought with つもり
- describing how something seems with らしい
- expressing how you would rather do something with くらいなら
- expressing "thanks to " with おかげで
- how to compare with くらべて
- using しかない to express "nothing but..."
- quoting people with って
- expressing contrast with に対して
- expressing "even though " with くせに
- and more!
If you are a beginner, I encourage you to check out my first book before starting this one.
About me
After graduating from college, I wanted to travel the world before entering the work force. I always had an interest in Japan, so I decided to go there for a year to teach English. Well, I loved it so much that that one year quickly became four! During my time there, I studied for hours every day. And while I do not live in Japan anymore I still study (almost) every day.
While I am not a native speaker, I have collaborated with native speakers in writing this book and I feel that my experience as a student of the language gives me extra insight when teaching Japanese that would be difficult to get from native speakers alone.
