Easy Japanese crossword puzzles: using Kana

LAMPKIN, Rita L. Passport Books. ISBN: 0844283452
807.9 LAM [English][Japanese][Vocabulary]

The crossword puzzles included in this book are designed for learning or reviewing Japanese vocabulary at a low intermediate level. The puzzles in this book are presented in two sections; clues in Japanese and crossword answers in English, and clues in English with crossword answers in Japanese. Each puzzle is based on a particular topic related to daily activities or other topics of study common to Japanese language classes. You may modify the level of the puzzles if you find them too difficult for your students, for example by giving some rarely used words on the student sheets, or suggesting the number of letters and words used in a grid line.

The music scores of 50 Japanese children's songs from Anime, Japanese TV shows, Disney musicals and old kids' favourites are included in this book.
Each song is supported with a piano accompaniment in C. All lyrics are transcribed in Hiragana or Katakana. These features make preparation for singing in Japanese easier for both teachers and students. A demo CD for this book is separately registered and also available for library loan.

All about particles: a handbook of Japanese function words / CHINO, Naoko

Kodansha International. ISBN: 4770027818
[Japanese][English][Grammar]

Particles are only a small part of the Japanese lexicon, but are necessary for authentic sounding Japanese. Japanese language teachers find them difficult to teach because particles in isolation have no semantic "meaning" and native Japanese speakers also find particles hard to explain because they have acquired these small words as part of their first language. This book covers over 70 particles, from the most common to the less frequent. They are shown to have some 200 different usages with Kanji-Kana Japanese sentences. Romaji sentences and English translations are also included. This book is a good source of examples of grammatical particles in real life use.
