This book is essential for anyone like myself struggling with the complexities of those pesky Burmese particles. It is comprehensive, accurate and well-laid-out. The examples are both numerous and well chosen, as well as aimed at users with different language requirements. Given the scarcity of other available resources, this book is simply a must. I hope that the authors will evetually produce a full grammar of Burmese in English, but until then, there is no substitute for this book. Definitely 5 stars.
