Astonishing Japanese

  • Author: Roger Pulvers

  • Description: An epoch-making theory of the Japanese language that overturns the pre-conceptions of Japanese people. It is a complete misunderstanding that Japanese is complicated and difficult for foreigners!
    Japanese is suitable as a "universal language"! Having spent many years in Japan, the author translated much Japanese literature into English and introduced foreign countries to the world. A novel theory about Japanese, told by a non-Japanese writer.
