Welcome to the Japanese Language Resources guide! This guide will direct you to some library resources for Japanese language study.

The guide is divided into two sections:

  1. Language Dictionaries - find dictionaries, including special dictionaries of idioms, verbs and adjectives

  2. Grammar and Other Resources - find books on Japanese grammar as well as works on reading and understanding kanji and Japanese particles
