ジャパンタイムズ出版 A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar

If you have a bit of patience and a bit of Autism and narrow focus, these little books about Japanese Grammar in Dictionary format can teach you the language completely well. However I do suggest, you learn a little bit about the basic Japanese beforehand, for example, the Kana (both of them) and Kanji only first batch of Joyo Kanji, and a little basic facts about sentence structure and consolidation of the writing scripts.

Poorly packaged by amazon, just thrown into an envelope and arrived with some corner damage. Obviously not the fault of the authors who put together a great resource.

(I am still learning beginning Japanese--I know enough to be dangerous, but am not even at JLPT5 yet, I suspect--so take this review with a grain of salt.) Calling this book a dictionary is very appropriate, because that's exactly what it is. Having it at your side to look up grammar points (either what something means or how to say something) is invaluable. The explanations are clear and easy to understand, and the example sentences with translations help to solidify and further clarify the meanings of the grammar points and how to use them. There are many times when the explanations in my primary learning sources were confusing or ambiguous, and looking up those grammar points in this book has so far always cleared things up for me. This book won't guide you through learning Japanese, but it doesn't claim to. It does exactly what it says on the cover, and does an outstanding job of it. I absolutely recommend it as a reference to have on hand while learning Japanese. As I advance in my Japanese, I definitely plan to buy the next books in the series as well.
