About this title

Synopsis:

This pocket-sized reference work is the companion volume to Professor Brannen's "Practical English-Japanese Dictionary", first published in 1991. Similarly, all entries, definitions and usage examples are rendered in romanized Japanese as well as in Japanese script and English. The approximately 8000 entries selected are both colloquial and useful and the practical and natural Japanese usage examples included are rendered into common English equivalents. A pronunciation guide assists those less familiar with romanized Japanese, while another section introduces the basics of Japanese grammar.
