Nippon Ha Sekai Saitei No Eigo Kyoiku No Kunida. Eibun Jo

[Machine Translation] Why are Japanese people the worst English speakers in the world? Why is the city streets flooded with strange Japanese English? The main culprit lies in the deficiency in the basic construction of English education in Japan. From the basics of "be" and "have," Japan's understanding of English grammar has been flawed. In this book, we will go back to the basic understanding of "the fundamentals of English grammar" and rebuild English education from the foundation up. Based on the grammatical controversies that have existed since medieval Europe, this book sharply approaches the confusion and mystery surrounding English grammar theory in Japan, and explains the essence of the basic system of English grammar, from basic verbs to the comparative class and the subjunctive. This is a new edition of the best-selling book that shocked readers by pointing out the fatal flaws in English education in Japan.
