      Introductory Notes

      Keep these two points in mind as you work in this book:

1.Always VOCALIZE as you do the exercises. This book is written in Romanized Japanese (romaji) to help facilitate visual and oral/aural understanding of the patterns. These exercises were designed to increase your familiarity with certain basic adjectives so that you will find yourself being able to say them quickly and without stumbling. Hearing yourself say the correct response will rapidly increase your aural comprehension of Japanese.
2.Do all the exercises (and complete each exercise. Even if you you thoroughly understand an inflection or pattern, it is imperative that you start from the beginning of the book and do each lesson. The only way you will be able to reproduce these patterns in real life conversation is to overlearn them.
