THIS IS W.I.P.
While studying Japanese I have come to realize that it is a particularly well structured language. As somewhat of a visual thinker and someone often working on information design, I was naturally drawn toward the idea of diagramming the conjugation of verbs and adjectives, hoping to discover some insights for my learning or at least achieve a better holistic vision of the grammar structure.
Below you will see the iterations I am going through as I am advancing in my learning. I would strongly advise against using anything here as a reference for your studies though, at least not at this stage. The diagrams merely describe my process and are certainly incomplete and possibly wrong. Hopefully in the future I will be able to create something useful for other learners.
The initial diagram below was more of an exercise to visualize as much grammar as possible and get a rough idea of what fits where. What is fascinating about it is that, however incomplete and imperfect, it does feature a large part of conjugation inside a rather straightforward and small diagram, displaying the neat organization of the Japanese language.
