Making Out in Japanese

by Todd Geers, Erika Geers · 1988

+ Want to read

This phrasebook aims to teach Japanese as people actually speak it in everyday, informal conversation rather than the stiff scenarios found in most classes. It covers the lively expressions travellers and students are likely to hear when they make friends or start a romance in Japan. Each phrase appears in romanized form and in Japanese script with pronunciation guides, so readers can show it to someone who may struggle to follow them. The book also explains pronunciation, basic grammar, and how men and women speak differently, with notes on language and culture along the way.
