I Can Do This!
For years, I've struggled with poor grammar and other hindrances to good writing--but not anymore. The information taught in this book couldn't have been presented any clearer. If you cringe at the idea of memorizing endless, illogical rules of grammar, then this book is for you. It's logical, direct and very motivating! Now, I fearlessly take on any writing challenge. This review is a ...

Excellent Study Resource
I have used many different books, websites, and cards in my quest to learn Kanji, and this set of cards are by far the best I have come across. The cards themselves are very well made, with a plastic coating that has so far proven impervious to wear and tear.
This set has all of the Kanji required for the 4th and 3rd levels of the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test.) In addition to the ...

Fundamentals of English Grammar, Third Edition (Full Student Book with Answer Key)5 reviews
Betty Schrampfer Azar
Pearson Education, 2002
Great explanations, many exercises, answer key
As a teacher of many grade levels and English fluency levels, I found this book very useful. It has perhaps the best explanation I've read on "perfect" tenses. My ESL student couldn't understand why he should use a simple past tense versus a present perfect tense, and this book helped him.
The book features many useful charts on major and minor grammar topics. I find the charts very effective ...
