English Grammar for Students of Japanese: The Study Guide for Those Learning Japanese (English Grammar Series)

A popular self-study guide for students of Japanese. Each chapter covers a grammar i.e., a part of speech (noun, verb, preposition), a word’s function in a sentence (subject, direct object, indirect object), a grammatical term (tense, polite vs. plain form, topic). Each chapter is divided into two sections. 1. In grammar is explained as it relates to English, anticipating concepts necessary for Japanese. 2. In grammar is explained as it relates to Japanese; examples in romanized Japanese, with word-for-word meaning and grammatical identification. Points out similarities, differences, and alerts students to pitfalls. This self-study guide is part of the O&H Study Guide series for students of foreign languages. Experience has shown that students using the O&H Japanese Study Guide improve their performance in Japanese grammar thanks to a better understanding of English grammar. Teachers can devote more class time to developing communicative skills.
