The ultimate Japanese phrasebook : 1800 sentences for everyday use
Nagamura, Kit Pancoast2009
Book
"Going beyond the scope of standard phrasebooks for tourists, this compact volume presents all the expressions a student, businessperson, teacher, homemaker, or other professional will need--not only to get by in Japan but also to set up a life there and make Japanese friends. The book contains 1800 sentences organized into 19 chapters, covering almost every situation a visitor to Japan is likely to encounter, from meeting people, shopping, and getting around, to finding a place to live, getting a job, and having kids. A chapter on social interaction teaches you how to initiate a chat, agree and disagree, and express your thoughts on matters of importance, while another, on feelings, guides you through the various ways of expressing emotion in Japanese. There is even a chapter on romance and sex, "The Private Zone," which introduces key phrases for hooking up and bedding down. Included with the book is a free MP3 audio CD containing all the sentences read aloud--first in English, then in Japanese--by professional narrators and actors." - product description.
