1. Basic Word Order
The sentence order is very different from English. In English we use Subject-Verb-Object (SVO), but in Japanese it is usually (but not always!) Subject-Object-Verb (SOV).
| English | S | V | O |
|---|---|---|---|
| I | eat | bread. | |
| Japanese | S | O | V |
| watashi wa | pan o | tabemasu. |
Notice the "extra" words wa & o. These are called particles (or grammatical markers) and tell us a lot about the function of the word it follows. Don't worry! We will get to particles soon enough.

I need a complete copy!
Hello, does anyone have a complete chapter in .pdf format? I would like to have a copy so I could share it to my friends. ^^

for the "secondly" i saw in the adobe acrobat pro 9 and 10 that you can insert sound, video, SWF and the 3d files into your PDF file. i guess it can do what want to do with making a perfect PDF book.
JA, MATA.

So easy <3
PDF!
I think you should seriously consider making a pdf file out of the Fast track grammar points! This is very valuable! ^_^ just an idea.
I think first I want to go
I think first I want to go through and polish up all the lessons. I've only done the first couple so far.
Secondly, is there a way to embed audio files into PDFs? If not, I think that would seriously hinder a good portion of the lessons. I know Clay has made a number of "ebook" type lessons that he did I think in flash... so that they could also have audio etc. I'd have to check with him on that.
Perhaps he'd be interested in making the Fast Track guide into a mobile app for iPhones, Androids, iPads etc.
