Konnichiwa, Nihongo! [Revised Edition]

Overview

This handbook for conversing in basic Japanese contains 131 phrases and some 1,200 words accompanied by illustrations to help you understand and remember them. The compact, lightweight design makes this learning resource a handy tool to carry around for the times when you have trouble communicating.
