Unfolding the feeling of travel
A small and light Japanese conversation book

If you need enough Japanese to travel happily!
“Traveling Japanese” is not a book to study.
This is a true travel book, made with a size and volume that can be easily put in a bag, and a design that allows you to continue the feeling of travel even when you open it during your trip.
While you're on the move on a plane or traveling, try to remember a few phrases you can use on your next trip.
Let's try this without running the translation app.
There aren't that many words you need when traveling.
But speaking even a word or two in that country's language adds a whole new dimension to your trip.

If you're looking for an easy-to-read book that fits your travel schedule!
This book neatly contains the essential words that the editorial department actually needed every time they traveled to Japan.
I planned my itinerary according to my schedule, from arriving at the airport on the first day of my trip, to checking in at the hotel, to checking out on the last day of my trip, and returning to the airport.
Each sentence is color-coded to highlight key words, making it easy to read even if you don't know Japanese well.
You can organize the words you need for each situation, such as the number of people, day of the week and date, menu name, and shoe size, so you can find them right away.
You can also see vivid conversations with actual small talk with Japanese people while traveling.

If you want to speak naturally, even just a word or two!
I first showed the manuscript to 20 local Japanese people and received their opinions, and then organized the same words into expressions that are frequently used in everyday life.
And conversation is not just about speaking, it's also about listening.
We also introduce honorifics frequently used by clerks and hotel staff.
Additionally, it was carefully reviewed by a Japanese instructor who studied Japanese language education in Japan and has been teaching Japanese to Koreans for over 10 years.
Start preparing for an exciting trip with this small but sturdy book.
