Zum Repetieren und die Kommunikation verfeinern
Anhand von 142 Satzmustern und ihren Variationen gelingt der japanischen Autorin ein didaktisch ausgesprochen einfühlsames Werk für amerikanisch-europäische Lerner. Das tönt auf den ersten Blick nicht so prickelnd, in der Tat liest und lernt man sich mit Vergnügen und ohne Mühe durch das Büchlein. An sich handelt es sich um eine Art Grammatik-Vermittlung der anderen Art, das Hauptziel besteht allerdings in der Verbesserung der kommunikativen Fähigkeiten. Die englischen Kommentare sind so simpel wie treffend und geben auch fortgeschrittenen Lernern immer wieder neue Einblicke in die Sprache, somit eignet sich das Werk ausgezeichnet zum Repetieren. Aber auch Anfänger gehören ausdrücklich zur Zielgruppe, zumal sämtliche Sätze in Kanji/Romaji wiedergegeben sind und das Buch mit einfachen Satzmustern anfängt bei progressivem Schwierigkeitsanstieg. Das wohlgeordnete Layout und die kurzen Kapitel sind sehr benutzerfreundlich, so dass man zwischendurch auch mal nur kurz reinschauen kann. Die kleinen und prägnanten Übungen haben alle einen Lösungsschlüssel. Im Anhang finden sich nützliche Verb-, Adjektiv- und Zahlwort-Tabellen. Ich bedauere sehr, dass mir dieses tolle Buch nicht schon früher in die Hände gelangt ist. Nebenbei gesagt, auf amazon.com gab's ein absolutes Glanzresultat bei den Rezensionen. Ein weiteres, sehr empfehlenswertes Buch der Autorin ist übrigens das "Japanese for All Occasions".

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.

One of the best book I bought
(Please, bear with my English, I am not a native speaker) Being really interested in learning Japanese, being very serious about it, but having almost no spare time to study, I became a kind of specialist of the resources you can use in a metro. And I may say that this book is one of the most valuable investment I have made so far. It will of course depend on your learning style, but being a teacher myself, I can't find a lot of reasons for which this book wouldn't help you to improve your Japanese. It basically works like a sentence structures dictionary that you can read from the first to the last page (using it a little bit like a textbook) or you can look up in whenever you need to use, learn or review a pattern. As usual with Kodansha, no kana, no furigana (but the sentence in Japanese, with its transcription in romaji and the translation). It is almost a signature and I really share the incomprehension of the vast majority of the Japanese learners and teachers community who keeps complaining about that again and again with no sign of a change from the publisher. Aside this inconvenience, it is a very good and useful book in my humble opinon.
