Thank you for sharing this fantastic material! The older "ifile.it" links no longer seem to be working. Would it be possible to upload the "enhanced edition" of 'Visualizing Japanese Grammar' again?
Thanks! All the best, Isshin

I'll try to reupload all the 'dead' stuff, but you must be patient, it takes time.

Visualizing Japanese Grammar
What my cousin has always found annoying about learning Japanese is the lack of appropriate materials: (line-by-line + Unicode playlists) audio + etxts (to be able to use mouse-over pop-up dictionaries) + translation.
There are plenty of relatively good grammar books out there, but none with audio!!!
Here's an introduction to Japanese grammar written in plain English and showing it as a system.
Excellent for beginners.
.doc files + line-by-line audio.
It is an enhanced edition.
