5.0 out of 5 stars A practical language guide
This book is a must have for every non-native Japanese speaker. It is not a conventional language book. Rather, it immerses you into a practical setting, and has a 'cozy' feel to it. There is a phonetical approach to presenting each word and phrase, giving us the 'every-day' pronunciation. I highly recommend this guide to anyone traveling or moving to Japan, military members, and those with an interest in the Japanese language. It is well worth it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Two Languages + Love = A Handy Communication Manual to Make it Work for Everyone in the Family!
Mr. Mitsumatsu and Mr. Atchity have made a great accomplishment in the world of “How To”. This practical guide to communication and day-to-day language with each other under the same roof is sorely needed! Let’s hope others will follow your example when language barriers keep you from enjoying the full depth of a relationship.
Congratulations on your recognition as DISTINGUISHED FAVORITE OF THE 2021 INDEPENDENT PRESS AWARD in the "Reference" category. Well deserved and so practical. What a beautifully forged relationship!
