Japanese Grammar: The Connecting Point is instrumental for anyone learning Japanese who seeks to gain a firm grasp of the most important aspect of the language: verb usage. Learning Japanese may seem to be a daunting task, but Dr. Nomura's book will help readers conjugate verbs into a variety of formats, construct sentences systematically, and hold intelligible conversations in Japanese.He groups all Japanese verbs into clusters, creating a method of how each of those groups conjugate, and then demonstrates how to combine various verb forms with auxiliary expressions to form complex sentences. Not only is this method excellent for beginners, as it creates a solid foundation for learners to increase their language ability and attain fluency at a rapid rate, but also for intermediate and advanced levels, as it will help them solidify their verb usage and use Japanese with greater confidence. Learners will also benefit from Dr. Nomura's method because they will be able to shift the level of formality in any conversational situation according to what is culturally appropriate. Furthermore, when a new verb is uttered by other people, the learner will be able to immediately apply the agglutinative process described in this grammar book and generate sentences with a variety of suffixes in a culturally appropriate manner.

Why no other reviews (at least at the time of writing) ?
By Anna Kuklosis
Why no other reviews (at least at the time of writing) ?
Quite possibly because other purchasers feel, probably justifiable, you cannot accurately assess this book anything short of a year or so into some serious use of it, and presently it as not been available for much longer than that. Although the impression given on the back cover is that pretty much anyone could use this book, make no mistake, this is very much an academic textbook which whilst 'learning to speak Japanese' orientated mostly does this through the medium of involved technical explanations using the types if sentence structure diagrams and terminology you might otherwise find in academic linguistics texts by Noam Chomsky and the like( example: vF-2x Formative for Vowel Stem Verb, Group1 , level X - there is a reference list of about 200 or more of similar). I did a night class a few years ago which was representative of the level of education/grammatical knowledge in the demographic wanting to learn Japanese and if this had been the textbook most people would have dropped out at the end of the first session.
I am attempting to learn Japanese for what might be called casual non-vocational reasons..I watch a fair amount of films, anime etc. and bought lots of books, but reality is after a full day in front of a workplace PC I normally find I have not got much mental energy left for reading and only manage a glance at couple of pages of any textbook (never mind this one !)before getting drowsy - if you are someone in a similar position and a relative beginner perhaps best to look elsewhere initially..most people will I think find this an intellectually challenging and mentally demanding read and it's not the kind of book you can casually pick up, open a page at random for a couple of minutes and most times quickly gain at least one new insight (as you can with Kodansha particles books etc )..with this one it's not worth trying unless you are in fairly refreshed state of mind and have a least a dedicated half hour to read meticuously between half to one page of material (which you'll probably need to review several times)
The above sounds negative but the counter to this is that in it own terms this looks like an extremely good and ultimately valuable book to the person who has the inclination and time to do it justice. There are about 200 pages dedicated to very detailed explanations of the main grammatical elements and constructions with much attention to elements that are not self-evident or appear ambiguous to English speakers (don't know if this is in it but the likes of sentences where I still don't know if someone is frightened or frightening to someone else). To stress again this is technical stuff but it looks like the hard facts may be that this is the minimum level of explanation needed to clear away the uncertainty and actually to the point of using the language effectively.
There are also 250 pages of tabular appendices, mostly re. verb conjugation etc.
Somnething of the order of 100 pages of this is devoted to verb construction forms - the author says that his system redresses certain problems in the grammatical explanations used by other key authors (eg. the Kodansha verb book)but I have not been able to assess this. This is good because it includes hundreds of example 'realworld' sentences.
The rest of the appendices are tables showing the sentence construction patterns for individual verbs. My main criticism comes here - it's not that it,s bad, it just looks that organised differently you could have done more with around 150 pages.
The main 'gripe' is that each verb is presented in both Japanese and English sorted section - as far as I can see it's the same info so why not just present one in full and then a reference list for the other way round and use the several dozen pages saved for something else. Also the tables look to have been initally constructed by 'mail merging' from a database into a standard tabular format, and then some post-editting. Hence every entry has explanations like 'Use ga or wa to indicate the one who..o to indicate what is...etc. Since the book makes heavy use of abbreviation codes elsewhere why not do the same here and free up a lot of space.
Also instead of realworld sentence examples this section has entries such as 'X wa Y desu', which both misses an opportunity for the reader to gain vocabulary and also because of this the realworld usage of the verb is sometimes not made clear (eg. a verb with three English uses listed: to become intoxicated, get motion sickness, to become lost in ..you assume it's thought/a daze or the like but there's nothing to clear up that it might not be a strange town, a maze etc.)
Overall; a valuable reference/lookup type book for anyone intending to study Japanese seriously over a number of years. Definitely not a 'prior to my trip next year' starting point.

Study!!!
By Cire
His way of teaching is different and quite unique. I like it. Hopefully, everyone can, at least once, get this book and have his class. It's way better and very understandable if you can motivate yourself to exceed your expectations.
