Making Sense of Japanese : What the Textbooks Don't Tell You

Presents answers to the nagging questions of basic Japanese handled with a light touch and humour. Formerly published as "Gone Fishin'", this text includes a new chapter on upside-down sentences. The Power Japanese series presents a selection of guides to difficult or confusing aspects of the Japanese language. The student can find a quick reference to particles, a guide to the myriad levels of politeness, books of idioms, vocabulary builders, emotive expressions and turns of speech - all with natural examples.
