    About this ebook

    This series is based on a weekly podcast we produce called (unimaginatively) Beginning Japanese Phrases. This book is the second in the series which covers podcasts 31-60.


    FORMAT OF THIS BOOK


    As we do in the podcast, we'll introduce one useful Japanese word, phrase, or grammatical function. Then we'll breakdown an example sentence using that word within a common context.


    Each example sentence will include a literal and more natural translation as well as all the vocabulary and grammar defined and explained.


    We are including ro-maji at the end, but we highly recommend avoiding that and work through the Japanese instead.


    WHO IS THIS FOR?


    This book is designed so that both those fairly new to Japanese and those in the upper beginner stages can equally get value. You will need to know hiragana and basic grammar and sentence structure to use this book.


    FEATURES


    Keyword or phrase: We chose the word, phrase, or grammatical pattern because of its usefulness to beginners.


    Example sentence: The example sentence uses the keyword and shows a common context.


    Vocabulary: Every word is defined and explained.


    Grammatical Notes: In addition to vocabulary, we go through important grammatical patterns found in the story and attempt to explain them in plain English.


    Sound Files: Included at no extra charge are two sound files of each sentence. One is read at a normal speed and the other at a slow, easy-to-follow pace. The naming of the files corresponds with the chapter number. If you have ANY trouble downloading, please email us at [email protected] and just mention where you bought this book.


    Podcasts: You'll also find the actual podcasts in the download files. The podcasts are designed to be listened to with or without the written material. It will give you a chance to repeat and shadow the speaker.


    QR Codes: In addition to downloading the sound files, you can also point your phone's camera at any of the QR codes found within the book to instantly hear the audio streaming.

      Writing In Rhythm

      Jun 19, 2019

      Often when people talk about “the music of language” they make it sound like a mere frill, something we add to “dress up” plain writing. I don’t agree with this view. At the heart of language, I hear music—word-music, akin in many ways to instrumenta
