## Description

An indispensable tool for acquiring basic communication skills in a limited amount of time. With Japanese Sentence Patterns for Effective Communication , even absolute beginners can learn to communicate in Japanese in a matter of days. Designed specifically for native-English speakers approaching Japanese as a second language, this book presents 142 essential Japanese sentence patterns, first by giving equivalents in English, then following with Japanese translations. Each pattern is accompanied by a concise, easy-to-follow explanation and several Japanese example sentences that demonstrate its usage. In addition, practice sections for each pattern allow the student to test his or her understanding of the material presented. Japanese Sentence Patterns for Effective Communication is organized into twelve chapters according to communicative function, including such tasks as making simple, declarative statements about people and things in the world; making comparisons; talking about events in the past, present and future; expressing desire, conjecture and intention; stating causes or reasons; making requests; asking and giving permission; and using the passive and causative-passive voices. Extensive charts at the back of the book outline the rules for inflecting and conjugating adjectives and verbs—essential to fluent communication.

Review: Hounto ni sugoi nihongo no hon da! - I really like this book. It has so much vocabulary and grammar structures to learn that you really get a wealth of information for the money you spend. It's just as good or better as more expensive books I've read. Examples are written in Katakana, Hiragana, and Kanji, and defined in romaji, so beginners need not feel intimidated, and students who already read Kana will be able to pick up new kanji and learn to read by example. I also like how the author explains the concepts. It's not overwhelming or filled with jargon, it's pretty clear and easy to understand. I'd highly recommend this book because it's compact, yet has all the information you need to understand sentences in Japanese.
Review: JAPANESE SPEAKERS AND JAPANESE LOVERS GET THIS - I really like this book because it shows you the mistakes that you are making and it has plenty of examples on how to improve your grammar in Japanese. I like how it's soo simple and it gives you the sentences that are essential in mastering Japanese. In other words, it doesn't teach you grammar that you'll never use in real life. I like how they give you common vocab. words too. If you've been struggling with Japanese and you don't know why GET THIS BOOK! It'll literally open your eyes and make you see Japanese in a different light. I also like how it gets down right to the basics which is necessary and boosts your confident with Japanese! Overall, if you feel you're not good at Japanese and have low self esteem at it get this book! You'll feel a lot better ;) It's also a lot better than a lot of Japanese Grammar textbooks because some of the other books are unorganized and don't provide you with enough examples. This provides you with enough examples and sentences for you to practice with! That's the key to learning this language PRACTICE

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best sentence books for beginners.
*by K***E on October 31, 2014*

This book is designed for upper-beginner learners of Japanese. I say this because if you've studied Genki 1, you'll pretty much know how to do everything in this book. However, even if you have studied Genki 1, this is a great book to use for additional practice and will teach you more sentence structures then Genki 1. The examples are written in natural Japanese (Kanji + hiragana/katakana) and then written again in romanji. This means you don't need to know how to read Japanese to use this book. However, if you're a serious learner of Japanese, I'd highly highly recommend learning to read being the first thing you do. Losing the crutch of romanji is one of the best things you can do the first day you start learning. Learn Hiragana and Katakana first. Kanji is takes longer to learn but it's not hard, just tedious. The book does not provide furigana (kana above the kanji), but this is not needed because if you know how to read Japanese, it's extremely easy to spot the reading of the kanji in the romanji text. This book has one main goal in mind. That goal is to teach you tons of different sentence structures which is essential to know in pretty much every language. If you're a upper beginner, you most likely will not know all the vocab, but you will learn how to use most vocab once you've learn them. After mastering this book, you'll be able to express yourself in various different ways and structures. This book would work best if you're already an upper-beginner with a decent amount of vocabulary in your grasp. The best way to practice would be to study each section, then try to make as many sentences with the structures you've learn using the vocab you already know. Since this book does start off slow, I'd recommend it to a beginner of any level. Also to any lower intermediates who want to refreshen up on their sentence structures.
