Review by Warren Savage

I like the flowcharts for sentence 'tense' (present, negative, past, and past negative,) and for verb conjugation, and the book presents the pitch stress of the Japanese words (lowercase letters for normal pitch, uppercase for raised pitch.) But I didn't find anything that mentioned how to pronounce the final "n" in the word "sen", as in "sen en."
