Verb conjugations are driving me nuts! :danger: There are so many different ways for Japanese verb to conjugate. I've been using "Japanese Verbs at a Glance" by Naoko Chino and I find it really useful. However, there just seems to be so many rules for verb conjugations that I don't think memorization will work well here..

My questions are:
1. What is the most efficient way for learning verb conjugation? (memorization aside)
2. Can anyone recommend me a good book or workbook that emphasize on verb conjugations?

Thanks!

You allowed yourself to be overwhelmed by information overload.

Use something that introduces them one at a time, not something that throws everything before your eyes at once.

Memorization works fine, in combination with drills and practical application.

Yeah all those information is just overwhelming... I seemed to be getting ahead of myself and looking for a quick fix.

Thanks Mike for pointing that out.
