About this ebook

こんにちは！

Welcome!

If you are just beginning to learn the Japanese language, knowing a few basic grammar rules will prove to be useful. 

However, Japanese is not difficult. The biggest obstacle is probably the writing system and this book will help you narrow it down. 

This book, written for the Japanese beginner student, explains the basics and how Hiragana, Katagana, Kanji, and Japanese grammar in general is used; it helps you to get an overview on how to start and proceed. 

Ratings and reviews

One or two sentences at the very start made me cringe but after that it's fairly solid and only takes a couple hours at most to get through. I'm not a huge fan of phrase books in general (which is half of the book) but useful if only to learn some common kanji.

This ebook is alright, however while reading I've noticed a few errors. At one point it should have been wrote as 'people' but instead was 'persons' and what was supposed to be written as 'could' was instead 'cold' there was also the word 'Situayations' I was confused about it so I decided to look it up and there appears to be no such thing, even if I look for it in Japanese culture. I assume it's a spelling error of 'situations' or 'citations'. Beside that it's good, I've enjoyed reading this and have even found it a bit helpful.

I loved the way the sentences are explained in english but it doesn't much focus on letters it only have some charts but not explaining about how to make those letters.
