Customer Reviews

Handy

Has everything you need to get around, I love the size (fits right into your pocket) and very easy to find what you're looking for within the book.

I was able to communicate!!!

I feel this book is not only usefull for comunication with other people during my travel but also very well prepare to be user friendly. It was exellent in my trip to Japan have it with me.

Useful but Somewhat Disorganized

I used this book extensively while in Japan. It contains the most commonly useful phrases and a bare-bones grammar section, but the organization of the material could be better.The format is "back-pocket" handy with a durable binding so it won't fall apart...unlike other phrase books I have used.

This book is great! ( MY review) I'm a skitzo and so am I!

this book is wonderful! It's perfect for a traveler or someone who just wants to learn Japanese. It gives you uncompleted sentences like "I like-" or "I have a-" and then provides you with words in the English-Japanese dictionary in the back. It also has things listed by categories like "student life" and "request and complaints". In the back there is also a Japanese-English dictionary. This awesome book also contains the Hiranga and Katakana alphabets. I highly recommend this book to anyone who's even bothered to read my reveiw.

Japanese Made Easy

I found this book very useful and easy to understand. I would recommend this book to people who have had no background in the language and those who have studied but have forgotten some of it. This book is very practical and may inspire to want to learn more Japanese!
