I am a Japanese mother who has America born half Japanese children. I went to library and borrowed a lot of Japanese study related books and CD. And this one was good comparing other book if you have a basic Japanese knowledge and able to read Hiragana. Surprizingly many of other Japanese study book had not Furigana on the top of Kanji, and this book has Furigana on the top of Kanji. So, while you are able to study Kanji, you have no trouble to pronounce it. However, some body else mentioned, this book has section which calls "Private Zone", it is not definitely appropriate for my kids who is using this book ( she is 13). I removed that section and copy MP player CD eliminating that section to her smartphone. Anyway, it is very generous that they have this CD attached to this book, they have common phrases. The publisher, Kodansha. is the one of biggest publisher in Japan. They are not specialized in learning Japanese book, but fiction, non-fiction and magazine. This is done by very reputable Japanese publisher. They most likely spend good amount of money on writing this book.

I'm using this book as an aid in some mutual-tutoring sessions with a Japanese girl who is trying to get into a local university. She tutors me in Japanese, I tutor her in English. For me, the book has been particularly useful as a source of everyday language which--as any student of the language knows--is confoundingly different from the acceptably formal/polite level taught in textbooks. I pick a particularly confusing phrase, my study partner then dissects the phrase and explains what all those "na"s and "no"s and "de"s really are. Oddly enough, it has also been helpful to her, as I read off a phrase and she tries to render it into decent English. Obviously our needs are very specialized, but there are some highly useful phrases in here, for the traveller and for the expatriate trying to set up household in Japan.

Excellent phrasebook. The mp3 CD is not just a nice addition; it is the essence of the book. I can't imagine one trying to speak Japanese without it. Yes, there is a section on sex called "the private zone" and therefore the book may not be suitable for children, but it is only a small portion and should not be used to condemn the entire book. I am learning Japanese and the book is a major resource in my study.

This book contains tons of phrases, but they don't have interchangeable options, so you may be stuck saying something unrelated if you're not a linguist.

I commend them for making a book for the speaker (who may not have formal classes in Japanese) who had just arrived in Japan.

However, the above detraction will not be counted.

This is all you need to get started on your path to getting along in Japan. Each phrase is chosen by the authors with deep sensitivity to language that will not only get your needs met, but also present you as a polite human being to your listeners in a country where that is very important.

It is filled with information that allows you to reach towards more than superficial relationships. You will have ways to express yourself effectively on an emotional and even sexually intimate level. Goes where no other guide has gone before in this area. The presentation is humorous and well organized making it fun, readable, and easy to find what you need quickly when you are on the spot and need help!

This is a marvelous phrasebook and there is hiragana for the romaji text. The phrases are grouped by situations so you can learn based on the circumstances you anticipated.

Gift for my little sister, she loves it!
