We got this for some friends who are moving to Japan,they have a little girl so we thought this book would be neat for them all to learn the basics to get around in Japan. The way they have the pictures to help you say the words is not only helpful but very fun. Our friends got a kid out of it and really enjoyed it. Would recommend to anyone who wants to learn basic Japanese.

Fun and helpful guide to Japanese slang/commonly used terms and words. However, the actual speed, inflections, and nuances of actually speaking fluent Japanese, cannot be attained with this book alone.Overall, it is a good refresher or introduction guide, and worth the money and time to study.

I recently moved to Japan and started out not knowing any Japanese phrases. I found this book and was delighted to see the phrases broken down phonetically as well as with pictures to help you remember. My Japanese vocabulary has significantly increased. My mom visited and used this book to help her break down the words as well. Seeing "sumimasen" phonetically really helped her understand the proper pronunciation. This and many other phrases have helped us transition into life in Japan.

There are fun phrases in this and it does help, to an extent, with the pronunciation of Japanese words for those who are learning or having trouble. I like the idea of this and in fact I have the French version of this which I do enjoy.The book is fun for those (like myself) who already know Japanese, and from there I can see the funny side of it.I understand it does say Americanized pronunciation, but in all fairness some of the pronunciation is a tad off.Even for a beginner 'Cone Bun Wah' ? is a bit of a weird one aha. I hope you don't see this as a dig at the book, and I hope you can bring out new and improved material as this.Thanks.

When I visited Japan a friend in Okinawa showed me her copy of Japanese Slanguage. I read through it and immediately bought four copies for myself and friends in my Japanese language class. We all love this book for helping us learn Japanese phrases in a fun and easy way. My favorite phrase is "Don't touch my moustache" for "You're welcome." Try this book, the pronunciations aren't always perfect but they help you to get there and to remember the Japanese you need to know.

The book is easy to use and interactive as well. I have shared it with a few persons who will also purchase the book because it is so easy to learn. My dad's wife is even going to try the other two languages mentioned on the back of the book. Great job!!! Makes learning fun!

This book is very easy to understand. It has phrases and words that you would use everyday. Good for a beginner.

Its always fun to learn a new language and this really makes it easy.It doesn't make you fluent, but you do learn basic pronunciation as a result; not to mention expressions and terms.
