Lonely Planet Japanese Phrasebook & Dictionary 9 [Abe, Yoshi, Hagiwara, Keiko] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Lonely Planet Japanese Phrasebook & Dictionary 9

Review: This PHRASEBOOK is perfect: Small size, well organized, and very useful! NOT A DICTIONARY. - If you're just looking for a DICTIONARY, buy a DICTIONARY. Don't buy an awesome "PHRASEBOOK and dictionary" and then give it a 1 star review because you didn't read the description or the title of the book. Sheesh. Super helpful, small (size of a smart phone), and practical book to have on hand if you are going to Japan. PERFECT for traveling. The phrases are spelled out in both Japanese and phonetic spelling so you can learn to recognize and speak the syllables. I'm annoyed that some of these reviews are punishing this book with 1 star reviews just because they "didn't need it" because their "English was accommodated" when they went to Japan. If you're not a brat who expects their language barrier to be accommodated everywhere they go, and you're looking to learn basic communication in Japanese from scratch, this book is great. I am using this book in tandem with "Learn Japanese in your Car" on Spotify, and it's such a useful tool. It puts together the words I've been hearing into complete contextual phrases and is really accelerating and maximizing my learning. The categories are very intuitive and well organized. If you are just looking for a dictionary to quickly look up 1000s of words one at a time, you will find this frustrating and time-consuming to use. The dictionary portion is only a fraction of the book. If you are looking for a small, travel size book to help grow your Japanese vocabulary and sentence structure while learning basics, this book is for you.
Review: Great resource! - After trying different ways of learning japanese and failing/giving up, I found Benny Lewis who talks about focusing on just speaking, from day one. He even recommended this brand, Lonely Planet, over others due to a more broad range of topics covered. Not to say this book with make you a master of the Japanese language, but it's a good place to start learning vocabulary and phrases and start speaking it. I recommend to anyone planning to travel to Japan or who wants to just be able to communicate in Japanese.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not bad, concerning the size. Seems a little more casual for my liking however.
*by A***L on May 12, 2020*

Definitely good information, and easily organized. But it seemed a little dumbed down especially the pronounciations. It really assumes you aren't trying to learn Japanese at all, and are more needing a temporary help to use while traveling. My desire was to find a book that would help me learn easily on the go; kind of like a pocket learners guide. This will suffice for now, but not what I was looking for!
