Why study grammar?
If you want to study or work in Japan, being able to listen, read, speak and write Japanese accurately is essential. Without a solid grasp of grammar, you might miss crucial information or struggle to make yourself understood. This book is designed to help you naturally master Japanese grammar—the key to boosting your overall language skills—by engaging all your senses.
This revised edition covers all grammar points for the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) N4 level, and now includes the most essential N5-level points as well (featuring 116 points divided into 13 units by level). Held every July and December both in Japan and overseas, the JLPT is not only a great way to measure your proficiency, but is also widely used as an admission requirement for universities and a key hiring criterion for employers.
1. Listen and learn for long-term memory Every single grammar point comes with audio for at least one example sentence per meaning. By listening to the language rather than just reading and writing it, you will memorise the patterns far more effectively.
2. Boost your practical skills with plenty of practice and JLPT-style questions Each unit features dictation and practice exercises, followed by review tests every few units, and a comprehensive mock test at the end of the book. Because the example sentences are reinforced throughout the practice sessions and review tests, you can easily check your understanding of both form and meaning, while building the practical skills needed to pass the JLPT.
3. New to this edition: Clear visual conjugation charts & translated meanings In this revised edition, we have introduced visual diagrams that show you exactly how different parts of speech connect at a single glance. Additionally, we have added English, Chinese, Vietnamese and Nepali translations for the meanings of each grammar point. Gaining a crystal-clear understanding of both structure and meaning will help you truly internalise Japanese grammar.
