Not for the casual visitor (0/0 people found this helpful)
If you want a phrase book you can dip in to and find just a phrase for the right situation then this perhaps is not the book for you, although those phrases can be found. The fact that the phrase is given in Japanese first with the English afterwards does not make this the easiest to use, to my mind.
If you are to spend some time in Japan and want/need to understand the basic construction of the language without going in to the depths, then this probably IS the right book for you as it takes the time to explain the simpler constructs of the language.
This is a book that needs to be read, or even studied, rather than used to pick out phrases to get by day to day.
The author's knowledge is apparent throughout, but the presentation could be simplified to make it more accessible.
