Summary
Details

An indispensable tool for acquiring basic communication skills in a limited amount of time.

With Japanese Sentence Patterns for Effective Communication,

even absolute beginners can learn to communicate in Japanese in a

matter of days. Designed specifically for native-English speakers

approaching Japanese as a second language, this book presents 142

essential Japanese sentence patterns, first by giving equivalents in

English, then following with Japanese translations. Each pattern is

accompanied by a concise, easy-to-follow explanation and several

Japanese example sentences that demonstrate its usage. In addition,

practice sections for each pattern allow the student to test his or her

understanding of the material presented.

Japanese Sentence Patterns for Effective Communication is organized into twelve chapters according to communicative function,

including such tasks as making simple, declarative statements about

people and things in the world; making comparisons; talking about events

in the past, present and future; expressing desire, conjecture and

intention; stating causes or reasons; making requests; asking and

giving permission; and using the passive and causative-passive voices.

Extensive charts at the back of the book outline the rules for

inflecting and conjugating adjectives and verbs -

essential to fluent

communication.
