There is a book I've read several times over that I believe is very helpful. "Making Sense of Japanese: What the Textbooks Don't Tell You" (Rubin) which I actually ordered on Amazon.com. It isn't boring, a little humorous at times, actually, and it's very informative and helps to clear up a lot of confusion on different difficult areas of Japanese, such as wa and ga and passive/causitive forms.


I'm pretty content with life right now....For the most part, anyway....Well, at least, I'm pretty sure I am....

I wonder if that's the same Rubin who translates Murakami novels...Jay Rubin I think.
