A Great Introduction to Japanese Affixes

This book covers 63 basic affixes that are commonly used in Japanese. Explanations and examples are plentiful and the book is well organized. If you learn the entries in this book you could literally double your vocabulary. The back of the book gives a good analogy: gItfs as though you only knew the word esimple,f and then one day acquired esimplify,f esimplification,f esimplicity,f esimplistic,f and esimpleton.fh I feel this book is a must have for any intermediate student of the Japanese Language.

Excellent reference book

This book provides information that is powerfully helpful in learning Japanese. A must reference book for anyone serious about learning Japanese. Very well organized with Kanji, Hiragana and Romaji. A very helpful tool
