Good guide to the basics!

As I am just picking up the Japanese language, I picked up what I figured would be a good beginner's guide, which is exactly what this is! I can say there is no way in heck that your going to learn everything this book has to offer in seven days (unless you're obsessive), but it offers a ton of beginning phrases, how to read basic road-signs (along with which bathroom your supposed to be in, which is helpful). It offers a lot of basic "hi, how are you? Excuse me. Where is ....?" phrases, and is filled with quite a few pictures to help illustrate what is being said.It's a great book for beginners, and I am fairly pleased with it!

A good begining

Conversational Japanese in 7 days is a great book for a beginner, or someone brushing up on japanese. It has great pictures of japanese city-life, breathtaking photos of the natural scenary and a little on martial arts. However- it is not very complete and its dictionary is small! But, if your looking to just get-by in Japan, and not trying to "become a native" this book is for you!
