Talk:Japanese grammar

Great Minds?

Coincidence - I have been working in my sandbox on expanding the Japanese language entry - adding more information on the particles. I was also thinking how best to incorporate it, as that is only a small fraction of the language. Maybe this page can incorporate elements from that page - maybe expand more on the subject-object-verb structure, then serve as a launching pad for main grammar articles - pronouns, honourifics, participles, adjectives and verbs (and their conjugation) to start with, which are all probably long enough to warrant their own pages. --KotomiT^{ohayougozaimasu} 07:58, 7 December 2008 (EST)

The only great mind here is you. I saw your sandbox in Recent Changes. Unlike you, I do not have even a working knowledge of Japanese. I merely took a two-semester course in it when I was trying to go back to college. But I don't think there is any really good explanation of Japanese grammar available on the web.

I'm mostly interested in how people can use this knowledge. And being somewhat America-centric, I'm especially interested in how speakers of American English can learn Japanese. Same goes for Korean, by the way. --Ed Poor ^Talk 08:08, 7 December 2008 (EST)
