Product type: Car Item (Beginners' Mark)
Immediately after getting their driver's license, for the first year of driving a car in Japan, everyone must put a "Beginner's Mark" on the front and back of your car. This yellow and green arrow is a universal symbol in Japan, meaning lacking in experience -- cars with this mark you have to drive carefully around them! This is a magnetic beginner's mark, which the Japanese stick to their car on the front and on the back in an easily seen area (this is Japanese law). You can use these on your car, or as an unusual fridge magnet, sure to cause questions about this curious marking -- it might even be the start of an interesting conversation. This is magnet is also reflective so it can be seen from a distance. 4.5" x 7" (11 x 18 cm), this is an amusing cultural artifact from Japan!

If you've ever driven a car (or a motorcycle for that matter) in Japan, you know how narrow the streets can be. And as for passing the driver's license test... that's another story. One thing about right-of-way in Japan is the burden of care seems to be on the passer and not the passee. Which means that if you are passing a car, or person, you should take care to let the slower moving people go at their own pace (this may be to the large population of elderly people in Japan) -- as opposed to the Western ideology which is really about letting the faster people through. Japanese 'safety driving' emblems are made specifically for new (young leaf) drivers and older/elderly (autumn leaf) drivers, both of whom should be respected on the road for going at their own pace, and also supposed to be marked for this reason. This purchase is for the 'Kareha' ('me', pronoun used by older people) autumn leaf *magnetic* emblem for putting on your car that measures approx. 5 x 7.5 inches (12.5 x 19 cm). Ki wo tsukete!

KODA016A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Sentence Patterns
Number in stock: 6 Weight: 350 g. Price: $22.00
Product type: Study Item
A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Sentence Patterns is a fundamental learning tool for all students of the Japanese language, whether they be unblemished beginners or scarred veterans. With both types of struggling student, as well as for all the gradations that fall in between, there is a strong tendency, in the heat of battle, to lose sight of the essential nature of the Japanese sentence. It is for just such people that this dictionary has been created, to help them keep their eyes fixed firmly on the target and not be led astray.
The dictionary contains fifty of the most fundamental Japanese sentence patterns as well as sixty-nine variations. This number covers all the patterns that are needed for levels 3 and 4 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. Each pattern and variation is clearly defined by a formula given in Japanese, romanization, and English. Each is exemplified by sample sentences (both in single sentences and in dialogues), and each is represented in both polite and informal usage.
By means of this approach, the essential nature of the Japanese sentence is clarified, and once that has been done, the many patterns and variations fall easily into place. The simple, undisguised truth is that there are only three types of sentence in Japanese, and all of the convolutions and complications that distract and bemuse the student are nothing more than modifications of these three fundamental types. The study of the Japanese sentence need not be as difficult as it is seems.
A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Sentence Patterns may be used as a reference book to look up individual patterns for the purpose of learning, confirming, or reproaching them, or it may be used as a textbook to be read from beginning to end, providing an overview of the Japanese sentence while buttressing the student's grasp of individual patterns.

PB965A Practical Guide To Mimetic Expressions Through Pictures ~ E De Wakaru Giongo Gitaigo
Number in stock: 3 Weight: 300 g. Price: $22.00
Product type: Small Photobook
(What is this?)
One of the most difficult things to master in Japanese are mimetic expressions, e.g. onomatopoeia, words that mimick voices, sounds or states, for example "iraira" (a feeling of irritation), "buubuu" (the sound of griping or complaining), or "girigiri" (very close, with little time/space to spare). If one can master these expressions, one's ability to express oneself in the language increases greatly and will sound more natural. This book features these expressions, divided by theme with illustrations and exercises to improve understanding. Each chapter presents a number of related phrases with examples of their useage as well as an illustration. A short quiz follows to test your understanding. The end of the book has a 6 page test to see how well you understand what you have learned, and an index in the back is excellent for reference. This 136 page book is a highly recommended textbook for those looking to improve their word power in Japanese. 5" x 7", by Akutsu Satoru, a writer for Nihongo Journal.
Recommeded Level: Intermediate or those looking to tale Level 2 of the JLPT, not recommended for beginners as there is no romaji and requires the ability to read katakana, hiragana, and JLPT Level 2 kanji.

Yukio Nakayama and Jeff Clark provide you with this fantastic bilingual guide to Japan that not only aims to help you understand the culture better, but provides you with plenty of language training throughout the entire book. Starting us off, they provide us with 300 important phrases with one side being in English and the other side of the page being written in full Japanese. These stock phrases can be used for introductions, making reservations at a hotel, public transportation, food and beverages, etc. The book then continues with dialogs between two characters, exposing you to various expressions and phrases that you can use during practical situations. Again, these dialogs are split into English translations and Japanese versions with important vocabulary translated on the bottom of the page. All dialogs can be used coinciding with the CD (included with the package) to help you learn the pronunciation of the phrases and developing your ear for the language. A great supplemental phrase book/ culture guide that is both fun and education. Although recommended for those with at least a year of study in Japanese to fully understand the lessons on their own, it can be used by beginners as a quick and useful introduction to the language.

Product type: Study Book (pocket size)
Beginners approaching Japanese language studies may be nervous about pronunciation. But there are few languges in the world as easy to pronounce as Japanese. Unlike certain Asian Languages, Japanese is not a tonal language. Unlike English, words have very little stress. So you will undoubtedly find that, with the hints given in this book, Japanese sentences are very easy to pronounce. When you learn even a few words of a different culture you are learning about the culture itself. A considerable portion of this volume shows you the connection between cultural aspects of Japan and the language of the people. We hope that this will make your study of Japanese more informative and enjoyable. A publication created by JTB Publishing (JTB being Japan's leading Traveling Agency), this pocket book of information goes into detail over sample conversations and useful expressions to accomplish what you need such as talking on the telephone, how to order food when eating out, expressions you would use during sight seeing excursions, how to get help when you're introuble; idiomatic expressions such as "Me o sara ni suru" ("Saucer Eyes" aka to open one's eyes widely in search for something or someone), "Te ga hayai" ("fast hands" or a womanizer); words to describe people, motion, and their emotions "Icha Icha" suru (a couple necking); plus tons more. Written completely in English with an index to help you find what you need quickly.
