ALK001 "Understand Through Pictures" Japanese Dictionary Classified By Usage 1000 ~ E de wakaru Nihongo Tsukaiwake Jiten 1000
Number in stock: 9 Weight: 500 g. Price: $26.00 Product type: Japanese Study Book
The problem with using general language dictionaries is that they are too general and do not describe the nuances, especially for words that have subtle differences in meaning. Take for example warau meaning generally to laugh or smile. But what about smirk? Chuckle? Smile without laughing? A forced smile? A guffaw? This book will boost your word power significantly. With a year's worth of weekly lessons, each lesson focuses on one general verb and one situation and with pictures and examples you will be able to express yourself in Japanese much more fluently. The pictures and examples allow you to understand the subtle differenes between phrases, with explanations in Japanese (with full furigana) and translations in English, Chinese and Korean for full understanding. Each lesson also has a quiz to test what you have learned and answers are included. A bonus section on idomatic phrases is included as well, for those hard to understand phrases that have a common kanji and seem similar yet have very different meanings, such as for kao (face): kao ga hiroi, kao wo tsubusu, kao wo dasu -- do you know the difference? An excellent and fun way to boost your word power by ALC, the publishers of Nihongo Journal. Recommended Level: High beginner level and upwards. (from level 3 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test onwards).
