Japanese Words to Understand the Japanese Mind)

皆さん、
こんにちは。 Just back from my awful Japan trip… Typhoons, bad weather etc. Anyway, today i would like to introduce a book which i got hold of when i was in Japan.
Title: 日本人の心がわかる日本語 (Japanese Words to Understand the Japanese Mind)
ISBN: 978-487-217-7862
Price: 1600 yen


This book talks about stuff which Japanese people are mindful of, like Shame, Inside and Outside, etc. So for those who wants to know more about how Japanese people think, this book is for you. Unfortunately, this book is fully written in Japanese. Would only advise students with N3 level onwards to read this book.

How do you guys remember grammar points? I don't have much problems remembering vocab & kanji as I use the anki app for that, but I think it's not really suitable for memorising grammar. I always end up forgetting the grammar I've learnt. Any tips?

I copy all the example sentences from the textbook into my notebook. It really helps. Reading aloud reinforces the structure as well.

Please help :)

Hi, I'm a new member here.

I would like to ask for some advice, which japanese language school is good if I want to learn japanese (speak, read, write)?

And also please feel free to advice if there is any other cost effective solution because it is also 1 of my concern. (except self learn which is not suitable for me. Haha~) I did some research but please just think me as a total newbie in this.

Oh btw I'm a beginner in Japanese except memorising hiragana & katakana + maybe remember some words from drama. Haha.

Appreciate the help :)
