Do you learn japanese grammar?

English and Japanese is quite different especially in grammar.
Knowing the difference is important.

I'm learning English now and it's almost about learning the difference.

Good luck!

Hmmm...
I'm sorry I don't know good japanese grammar text or website.
In school,they don't teach mother tongue's grammar actually.

But if you want to improve your japanese skill,learning grammar is necessary.

And it's confusing, I recommend you to buy a textbook.
