It really helps you to understand the multiple uses of every single japanese particle and the difference between them.

This is precisely why there are a good number of books on the market dealing with the subject. Most of these books take up particles as independent entities, so that after having studies them, students are, if all goes well, familiar with the functions of the individual particles.

Each section is followed by dual-purpose quizzes that allow readers to test and practice their knowledge. For students who find themselves befuddled when confronting such differences, How to Tell the Difference Between Japanese Particles should prove the perfect tool to further their understanding. By grouping particles that are similar in function, this book helps students pin down differences in usage that would ordinarily take years to master.

Particles are one of the most difficult aspects of the Japanese language. This is precisely why there are a good number of books on the market dealing with the subject. Most of these books take up particles as independent entities, so that after having studies them, students are, if all goes well, familiar with the functions of the individual particles. One unfortunate side to this approach is that some of the particles share the same functions (but with slight differences), and so even though students may have grasped the general nature of each particle, they are not sure about the differences between the particles that have similar functions.Well-known language book author Naoko Chino solves this problem by grouping the particles by function, defining them, giving samples of usage, and clarifying differences. Each section is followed by dual-purpose quizzes that allow readers to test and practice their knowledge. In this way, while not replacing general reference books on particles, this book goes a step beyond them and helps students nail down the troubling differences between particles.For students who find themselves befuddled when confronting such differences, How to Tell the Difference Between Japanese Particles should prove the perfect tool to further their understanding.By grouping particles that are similar in function, this book helps students pin down differences in usage that would ordinarily take years to master. Definitions, sample sentences, usage notes, and quizzes enable students to move to a higher level of comprehension.

This book is absolutely fantastic and critical for students of Japanese--from beginners, who are just learning about particles, to advanced students, who should brush up on particles and learn as much as they can about them. This book can't even compare with dictionary definitions--it goes much further beyond that! Instead of giving flat out definitions and making groups of particles all sound the same, it gives examples and restrictions of when and how to use the particles.

There are also quizzes at the end of each section and a main test at the end of the book. These are very useful, and it gives you more motivation to take notes in the book.

The author groups the particles into sections--the first one dealing with particles about time. This is very smart, considering that some particles--if spaced out throughout the book too far--could become confusing with one another. Although, please note, that some particles found in much later chapters are much more common than some found in the first chapter.

Kudos to Naoko Chino. Kudos.

I used this during a college course for learning Japanese and my Sensei loved it (as do I). It really helps one learn particles and is very practical in all environments where one may be getting confused or having problems with particles in writing or communication.

I used this in conjunction with Meguro Learning Center's cheat sheet to study for the JLPTN4. It was pretty good but there were lots of pages with only 1-2 sample sentences. Waste of trees. I often had to refer to Routledge's Comprehensive JP Grammar for the trickier grammar points. If you're on a budget ... this book is //not// essential

I like how she grouped the particles. It definitely makes comparing and contrasting them a lot easier. My only complaint is that you need to have a wide vocabulary to make the quizzes worth your while. If I can't understand most of the words in each sentence, how am I supposed to know which particle to use? Constantly having to look up words is more than a little annoying. (This is mostly due to the sentences being geared more towards business people, thus using a lot of terms that you don't hear in everyday speech.) Other than that, this is a great book just for the concise descriptions of how to use each particle in what situation.

Having the particles grouped by subject matter makes it easy to find what you're looking for.

Very useful and complete. It really helps you to understand the multiple uses of every single japanese particle and the difference between them.

Thanks!

I hate when all of these cute little Japanese books use romaji -- like hate hate hate. They need to create "kana only" versions. I know they are trying to appeal to everyone wanting to learn and I can respect that. But my school emphasized learning kana and "romaji was bad". So I HATE seeing romaji at all. Please make a kana only version!!! The book would be so much more useful to me! Great for beginners though!
