Customer Reviews

Very good, though not the best one

The explanation and examples are clear and useful indeed. Besides, the final test is a good idea. However, you'll find you got more right answers than the ones the book shows. :-) Finally, you might want something more advanced for some topics of the book (it's maybe too small to have all the rules); if that's your case, I recommend you "A Handbook for Scholars." Beware: this last one is not as "reader-friendly" as "You Don't Say."

Very Good Tips for Japanese as well as American Students

Over all, the explanation of the rules are very easy to understand by anyone and anybody can apply them to correct/improve their English as soon as they have read the book. I highly recommend it to Japanese high school students and teachers.
