About this title

Synopsis

Specially designed for English-speakers in the early stages of learning Japanese, this dictionary is invaluable for anyone visiting Japan or working to establish business or cultural links with Japanese people. It includes some 3000 entries, with headwords in Roman script arranged alphabetically, and standard Japanese scripts shown alongside. The English translations are given with American spellings. As well as providing basic meanings and grammatical information, the entries also distinguish senses, list compounds, and set out examples and idiomatic expressions. A system of cross-references enables the reader to trace words of contrasting or related meaning, and notes on usage are provided where necessary.
