This handy Japanese phrasebook and pocket dictionary is designed for
people who want to learn Japanese quickly and don't have a lot of time
to study.
It is designed by an experienced language teacher to be useful and easy
to use. Even if you have just a few minutes a day--while sitting on a
train or subway, waiting for a bus, or spending time with your
friends--you can open the book and learn a few useful phrases that
you'll use over and over again during your stay in Japan.
This thoroughly revised edition features hundreds of new phrases and
manga illustrations which give context to the vocabulary and
expressions. It is divided into twenty-two accessible chapters, each one
covering a specific topic or situation that you will encounter while
traveling in Japan. Each chapter contains three sections:
- Key Words & Expressions: This introduces all the key Japanese
vocabulary and phrases you'll need to communicate in Japan. A
recording of each phrase or word by a native speaker is given on the
CD, and example sentences are provided showing how each word and
expression is used.
- Expressions in Context: This section shows you how to make use of
the words and phrases in various situations. Mini Dialogues illustrate
their use followed by related expressions designed to give you
confidence in using the new words in slightly different ways.
- Additional Vocabulary: This section enables you to create new
sentences based on the patterns learned and increases your vocabulary
and range of things you can say. There's no need to memorize every
word or phrase; just learn the ones that you want to use.
This book has over 1,800 carefully selected words and expressions. The
new manga illustrations bring the dialogues to life and show how the
phrases are used in actual real-life situations. There is very little
grammar and no need to spend hours of rote memorization. All you need is
a few minutes a day and a willingness to learn!
