      Writing In Rhythm

      Often when people talk about “the music of language” they make it sound like a mere frill, something we add to “dress up” plain writing. I don’t agree with this view. At the heart of language, I hear music—word-music, akin in many ways to instrumenta

      My mom is from Okinawa and we have lived on Okinawa several times. I even took Japanese at a local community college, but none of my textbooks were ever as good as 600 Basic Japanese Verbs! From the very beginning, in the introduction, the verbs are broken down into easy to understand categories: u-dropping conjugation, ru-dropping conjugation, and irregular conjugation. Never has anyone taken the time to explain this to me before and now I am finally starting to understand Japanese when I watch anime with my kids, watch J-drama, or listen to my mom speaking Japanese. The explanation of differentiating between the verb endings was even simple enough for my high school girls to understand and apply to their basic Japanese that they are learning in school. With the Japanese script, Romanized forms, and English translations, practicing verb usage correctly is a breeze while improving my reading skills. I just told their teacher about this book the other day and he is just as excited!
