I was worried it was going to be just like an English dictionary where everything is shoved together and confusing, but this book is anything but. It starts by explaining abbreviations, symbols, and grammatical terms. Then it talks about special grammar topics. Before getting into the grammar for specific words one by one. They are organized by the English alphabet, and when the word they are talking about is written in Japanese they write it in red. It first shows the word spelled out in romanji & Japanese, then explains when it might be used and it's definition. It makes it very clear and concise so there is hardly any confusion even if you are new to the language. Then in the back of the book they go on to explain katakana specific rules, compound verbs, compound particles, conjunctions, affixes, counters, cooccurrence, and functional expressions & grammatical patterns. Next is an English based "index" which lists English words alphabetically with their japanese romanji counterpart, but that's it. Lastly, there is a Japanese index organized by English alphabet, but this one simply lists the words explained throughout the book and what page number they're on. (BTW, as a bonus I thought I'd mention the price listed on the cover of the book is 3700 yen which roughly translates to $24.45, I paid more than that for a used book. But everywhere else wanted even more, so I suppose the demand is high?) Review: This book is by far my best textbook for studying Japanese - After 3 or four readings through the Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar, i finally became ready to start this one. The book is called and organized as a dictionary, however I use it as a study textbook, and it is excellent. This book is by far my best textbook for studying Japanese. I read the sentences, spell them and write them down in order to memorize Kanji. Contrary to Chinese, the pronunciation in Japanese is relatively simple, so after learning audio-courses (such as The Pimsleur Japanese I-II-III) studying grammar by reading writing and self-pronunciation is almost sufficient. My other textbooks are "Breaking into Japanese Literature" and "Read Real Japanese Essays" which include the audio-tracks. All the entries include the text in Japanese, where for first appearance of Kanji in every entry the reading is shown in kana. No romaji transcription is given, and no kana transcription for following appearance of the Kanji within the entry, which is very convenient for study and memorizing of Kanji readings. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #312,710 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #40 in Japanese Language Instruction (Books) #568 in Foreign Dictionaries & Thesauruses | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (396) | | Dimensions | 5.12 x 1.46 x 7.28 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 4789007758 | | ISBN-13 | 978-4789007757 | | Item Weight | 1.63 pounds | | Language | English, Japanese | | Print length | 760 pages | | Publication date | June 5, 1995 | | Publisher | Japan Times Publishing, Ltd. | ## Images ![A Dictionary of Intermediate Japanese Grammar - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61BUYHhJW3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it *by R***N on March 22, 2024* I bought it used, so it had no sleeve and the exterior was worn, but the inside is just like new.

I have however checked multiples entries and the grammar is clearly and methodically explained every single time. Each time I use it I feel satisfied with the responses I find to my queries, learn something new, and am happy I bought these books. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dictionary of Intermediate Japanese Grammar - A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar - A Dictionary of Advanced Japanese Grammar --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/44577409-a-dictionary-of-intermediate-japanese-grammar](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/44577409-a-dictionary-of-intermediate-japanese-grammar) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
