I can see where the author is comming from . . . although its a bit of romanticism. Japanese is extremely regular, which makes the grammar easier to learn though it is completely different to any language with indo-european roots. For valuable insights into Japanese grammar I recommend 'Making Sense of Japanese' by Jay Ruben (he translated works of Murukami including Norwegian Wood into English). Also a youtube channel Cure Dolly https://www.youtube.com/@organicjapanesewithcuredol49 https://www.youtube.com/@organicjapanesewithcuredol49 Who sadly died a few years ago, but who's insights nonetheless are very helpful (if you can get past the modified voice audio) It was a coincidence that I had just finished some reviews on wanikani just before reading this. I find it very helpful along with using the Core 2k/6k Anki deck for learning Vocabulary.
