Each of the 12 chapters is devoted to one widely-used sentence structure and its variations. Chapters are broken down into the following easy-to-follow components:
Clear presentation of model sentences
Breakdown and explanation of the grammar of key sentence patterns
Controlled practice exercises, such as filling in the blanks and imitating model sentences
Free practice exercises, using the target sentence structure to create your own sentences
Reading comprehension practice, of narrative text and dialogues, for consolidation

Online audio files recorded by a native speaker are available for all key Japanese dialogues, and all texts are written in Japanese characters with romanized Japanese and English translation—making the book accessible even for students who have not yet mastered Japanese script. The book is illustrated throughout with drawings that reinforce the meaning of the written text.
