501 Japanese Verbs (Barron's Foreign Language Guides) The complete overhaul by Nobuo Akiyama (2007) of the original version (2003, Roland Lange) has transformed this guide into a must-have for serious students of the Japanese language.

This is an excellent resource for those who are seriously learning Japanese. Not really useful for those who are unfamiliar with the language, it is nonetheless an excellent way to keep your verb conjugation in check.

This book outlines Japanese verbs very thoroughly. One verb per page, with a break down into 60 different conjugations. The verbs are arranged alphabetically by the English pronunciation/Romaji spelling of the transitive form of the verb. The preface explains everything about the verb forms and how they relate to English, and the final chapters flesh out verb usage, sentence structure and even has an English index of the verbs!A great, great book for learning Japanes verbs and all their various uses. Many complain that there isn't a Kanji/Katakana spelling of the verbs but that can be forgiven: check them in a dictionary. This is an A+ book.

Lange's compilation of the various forms of Japanese verbs is far more than adequate, providing forms at a level that surpasses most students' day-to-day needs. The organization is functional, and with rare exceptions, most verbs in common usage are included. Missing were the kanji for the "dictionary form" of the verbs, almost essential, considering the numerous homonyms in Japanese. I also found the romanization system, although correct, somewhat awkward for the student who must remember that "shi-" is "si-" in this volume. An essential volume for any student
