Each chapter begins with a brief introduction and dialogue providing words and phrases you actually need to manage a range of daily tasks from meeting people to shopping, getting around, sightseeing, visiting clients or booking a restaurant. Other situations covered in this book include:

Picking up a SIM card and making phone calls

Planning a trip and riding the train

Taking friends out to dinner and ordering in a restaurant

Writing emails, business letters, cards and thank-you notes

And many more!

Hundreds of example sentences, as well as over fifty detailed cultural notes on Japanese customs and etiquette, make this the most complete and authentic Japanese language guide available!
