About this title

From the Back Cover:

Next time someone asks if you speak Japanese, you can say "Sukoshi wakarimasu" (Sue-koe-she wah-kahree-mahss).*

With "Japanese in Plain English," you can speak Japanese in no time! Its easy-to-use pronunciation system and straightforward presentation of the basics of the language-with plenty of useful sentences-help you break the language barrier quickly and confidently. How? All the words and phrases in this book are written in Roman script--in plain English--in a form you can use immediately and in the right context. Instantly you'll know the basics of Japanese, from polite pleasantries to the latest technological jargon.

Start on the right foot-and speak Japanese with ease:

Good morning! "Ohaiyo gozaimasu!" (Oh-hie-yoe go-zie-mahss)
Thank you very much! "Domo arigato gozaimasu!" (Doe-moe ah-ree-gah-toe go-zie-mahss)
Let's go play golf. "Gorufu wo yari ni ikimasho." (Go-rue-fuu oh yah-ree nee e-kee-mah-show)
This really tastes good. "Kore wa honto ni ii agi shite imasu." (Koe-ray wah hone-toe nee ee ah-jee ssh-tay e-mahss)
I like you. "Anata wo suki desu." (Ah-nah-tah oh ski dess)
Please call a policeman. "Omawarisan wo yonde kudasai." (Oh-mah-wah-ree-sahn oh yone-day kuu-dah-sie)

*I understand a little.

Synopsis:

Now updated to include the latest additions to the language, it offers you 1,200 essential words and phrases that will get you around the country confidently and without faux pas. The pronunciation system is simple, and, more important, each Japanese phrase is presented in the Roman alphabet, rather than its non-Roman script.
