Based on the concept that Japanese is comprised of highly logical patterns, this unique manual systematically guides the student through practical lessons organized around fundamental paradigms instead of theoretical rules of grammar. Each chapter includes important everyday expressions, building on the previous lesson to facilitate quick understanding. Clear explanations of pronunciation and intonation are combined with ample exercises and drills to build a solid foundation for mastering the language. Although the most frequently used polite form of expression is emphasized throughout, the informal and superpolite forms also are introduced. This invaluable book provides a complete basic course in the Japanese language.The key to speaking Japanese is to master basic sentence patterns--in other words, to learn the language in fundamental "blocks." In this unique approach to conversational Japanese, Noboru Inamoto systematically introduces each of these "blocks" one-by-one, and then reinforces them by providing ample exercises and drills every step of the way. In this manner, the student masters the language by first laying down a strong foundation,and then building on top of that.
