Description
The Ultimate Japanese Phrasebook is designed for students who want to improve their speaking and listening skills. It contains 1,800 expressions for daily use in English and Japanese, with Japanese presented in both native script and roman letters. Topics include basic greetings, self-introductions, talking about the weather, getting around, ordering at a restaurant, visiting a Japanese friend’s home and special events such as birthdays, funerals, weddings and the birth of a baby. Unlike phrasebooks that offer useful vocabulary with little guidance on using it in sentences, this book focuses on sentence-level utterances and shows how Japanese sentences work. All the sentences are suitable for students likely to use them in Japan. Key vocabulary appears at the bottom of each page, while notes and special columns explain usage and communication strategies. Audio containing all the sentences, read aloud with feeling in both English and Japanese, is available free from kodansha.us.
