Japanese grammar

Last updated Jan 10, 2023

The Internet usually recommends the textbooks Genki I and II. Other popular resources include imabi.net and Tae Kim’s guide . I learned from a mix of both, and picked up a good deal of grammar from reading and listening. Specifically, finding anime, manga, or music that you enjoy and breaking down the sentences is an excellent way to internalize grammar and understand how it’s used in the wild. The important keyword for anime and manga is raw, meaning untranslated or un-subtitled. Both Japanese and English subtitles for most popular anime are available online , and watching anime with Japanese subtitles is useful at intermediate and higher levels.
