Green Book

わかって使える日本語 is the worst Japanese grammar book I have ever used. Our teacher has been using it for the past year and I have just now realized what makes it so bad. One: The explanations are completely in Japanese, which would be perfectly fine except that the Japanese doesn't actually explain what the grammar is. All it does is tell you how to conjugate the said verb / adjective to go along with the new "grammar". Second: The exercises in the book are worthless. Instead of making your own sentences or having drills whether the new grammar works in a particular sentence or not, all you are doing is conjugating an already given verb in a pre-selected sentence.

WORTHLESS

I refuse to do any more homework from that book, graded or not.
