Last summer I went on a trip with my mom to Odessa, TX (where there is NOTHING), and out of the absolute lack of anything to do I started writing a Japanese textbook. I dropped it a while back since that's what I do with projects, but I'd like to start it up again and thought I'd post it here for input.

It's here on Google Docs.

I've put in a lot more effort in on the beginning than most of the rest (the first two chapters and the foreword were all once one chapter), and I eventually intend to have vocab lists and maybe exercises for each chapter, but I haven't gotten around to that. (In fact, if anyone wants to suggest useful vocab, feel free - it's not my forte at all. Just try to keep it basic!)

Thanks for any input!

(edit: I worked so hard to get those kana tables to look right in OpenOffice and Google Docs goes and messes them up completely... *grumble*)
(And apparently Google Docs doesn't like page breaks. Ah well.)

yay!

I'm going to be taking Japanese pretty soon and this looks like a good starting point (I've done a bit of reading on the grammar/linguistics and form and such, but not as much in vocab or learning the various writing systems.

Thanks for posting this and I'll come back to read it thoroughly when I have time Smile

Looking forward to comments from someone who's actually going to use it ^_^

seems like a pretty tough challenge just cause of some boredom

Tolkien_Freak, I've read like the first little part of it and I love it.

You use terminology which is very easy to understand.

Japanese is one of the languages that I would like to learn some time.

But thank you very much for sharing it, I shall be bookmarking it for future reference. =D

Yay, thank you very much!

Hopefully the rest is as good, since it's significantly less worked-on.
