An average phrasebook. December 2, 2008
Louis (London)
This isnt the easiest phrasebook to use, but does contain useful tourist and cultural info/tips. it contains a menu reader, a dictonary and grammar rules. One big advantage that I think this book has over others is that it has a page dedicated to the Hiragana and Katakana alphabets/scripts which can make words easier to learn.
 a good book November 25, 2007

I found this phrasebook really useful. It was small enough to put in my bag and I used it everyday. Even when I could not pronounce certain things I would just show whomever I needed help from and they understood straightaway. It has both English and Japanese dictionary and it came in handy when I fell ill and had to go to the doctors. This is great for anyone who is going to Japan for the first time.
 Poor indexing and unbalanced coverage November 12, 2007

Having used this in Japan for a couple months, I find this phrasebook fairly useless. We don't even bother carrying it around anymore.
The indexing is poor: meaning that you cannot easily find what you are looking for.
The coverage is unbalanced: why does it spend so much space on phrases for talking to the opposite sex? If you need a phrasebook to ask someone to marry you, then you have a problem! Yet the coverage of useful phrases, food items, etc, is quite weak, with many useless things included and the basics missed out.
The romanization scheme used is non-standard, making it annoying to use in conjunction with other books.
Excellent Resource October 2, 2002

I highly recommend this little gem of a book, it contains many phrases which can help even a child to get through Japan. It contains alot of other information too! Buy it! buy it now! :)
handy for everyday use in japan November 1, 2001

I have basic knowledge of written and spoken Japanese and found this book very helpfull in getting by in day to day things. I lent it to my brother when he visited me in tokyo and he coulnd't have gotten by without it. As most of the Japanese's English is abominable you really need a small pocket dictionary or a phrase book.
Size makes this particular book very handy. I would have liked some more young persons words and catchy phrases.
