Grammar is the foundation of listening,speaking,reading and writing. We have designed this book so that you can proceed with your studies by going through the following process:

1. Know how this grammar is used during real-life communication in Japanese;
2. Become accustomed to using it by practicing the fundamentals;
3. Practice applying the grammar in review questions that involve listening to and reading Japanese.

The review questions follow the same format as those that appear in the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test. This means that takers of the test can study grammar strategies and practice reading comprehension and listening test questions all in this one book.

There are five books in this series, one for each level (N5-N1). After completing this book, we hope you proceed to the next level to further improve your Japanese language skills.
