The purpose of the Nihongo Sogo Enshu series is to organize and explain grammar in an easy-to-understand manner and have the learner practice how to use it, thereby ensuring he/she uses advanced-level Japanese appropriately. The learner follows a process of discovering a grammar rule while solving a problem, and then confirming the usage through practice. Finally, the learner does comprehensive practice as a summary of what has been learnt.

“I want to be able to use expressions related to politeness and formality properly” is a request that learners of Japanese frequently make. This book deals with this request, and, with learners heading for the advanced level in mind, covers the usage of honorific expressions and expressions related to giving and receiving, as well as their usage in response to different situations. The book is also a great deal of help for those in Japanese language education.
