The Ultimate Japanese Colloquial Expressions
Description
Book Introduction
This is a collection of Japanese expressions that are difficult to understand unless you live in Japan, as well as useful expressions that you may not be able to say out loud even if you know them.
To help you learn vivid, real-world usage, we've selected the most understandable lines from numerous Japanese dramas, movies, and animations and provided examples.
Although it consists of a total of 202 units, the actual number of expressions learned is over 300.
This is a must-read for intermediate and advanced Japanese speakers, those majoring in the language, or those preparing to study abroad or become interpreters or translators.
You can download the dialogue MP3 files for free from the publisher's website or blog.
