Review by Charles Eicher

An excellent series of grammar lessons, intended to make your Japanese sound more natural. Starts with clear explanations of classic problems (i.e. wa vs. ga) and moves to more complex topics like sentence conjunctions, idioms, etc. The author is a Japanese teacher, and has attempted to solve the problems he has seen most often in Japanese learners. Highly recommended for beginners through intermediate levels.
