Basic Japanese Grammar

Nice book

It is, as the title says, a guide to basic Japanese grammar and as such, does the job well. I recommend reading the whole thing cover-to-cover once and don't be too concerned if you don't understand everything immediately - grammar is complex and interwoven, so most grammar books refer to things you haven't come across yet all throughout the book. It should make more sense on second, more thorough, reading. Bleiler and I differ a little on our view of which parts of grammar are most important in language learning - he or she is concerned with polite, conventional Japanese, whereas colloquial Japanese is a good deal less clunky (considering how much longer Japanese sentences seem to be to a beginner) and the most useful for chatting with members of your peer group. As this is a grammar book, there are also many grammatical terms that someone who has not studied linguistics may not fully understand. It is also somewhat dry, so if you're looking for something more lighthearted or "fun learning", this probably won't be for you. It does cover all the bases, however, so I would say it is best used in conjunction with a phrase book containing the Japanese syllabary and a basic English-Japanese dictionary. It uses both Japanese scripts and the Latin alphabet for pronunciation, so sounding out the words should be easy. It is advised in the foreword that you have some knowledge of basic Japanese phrases before reading, but I would say this is optional as it is not essential for understanding the structure or meaning of the example phrases.

Es un gran libro de apoyo para comenzar a estudiar el japonés, ya que resuelve ciertas dudas esenciales de gramática que podrían tenerse. Yo lo busqué por recomendación de Yuta, un YouTuber que enseña el idioma y es nativo, y debo de decir que quedé encantado.

Lieferdatum wurde nicht eingehalten, kam sehr verspätet an, sonst alles wie beschrieben

Es un buen libro que resume los aspectos básicos de las reglas gramaticales del japonés, lo único que hace falta son más ejemplos.
