 good... October 1, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
still learning katanakana, so it's kinda hard to read...
You need to be able to read katakana and hirigana at the least... It has some kanji, but it has the pronunciation in hirigana or katakana above it... Pretty good dictionary, it's kinda smaller than I thought it would be though, so it's not really a full of all the words in our language...
 This is really helping me a lot! September 20, 2007

I'm a very beginning, self-taught learner of Japanese, and I bought this furigana dictionary in order to build vocabulary and practice reading by translating simple children's books. It has proven to be extremely helpful, even though there are a few words I haven't been able to find. Just using it really reinforces my hiragana and katakana skills. The sample sentences are extremely helpful in both knowing how to use various words correctly and in translating, especially when there are many meanings for homonyms.
No, it's not a pocket dictionary and the furigana is very tiny so this isn't the book you want to take on a tour, but for a beginning or intermediate student, it's extremely valuable.

I found the font of the furigana characters to be tiny. That's about the only flaw I find with this volume. Only in bright sunlight can I see them clearly.

It's a definitely good book. There're all the words one needs for the casual conversation, and a lot of examples.

I bought this for my 16 year old son, who is teaching himself japanese. He said the book is great, its easy too understand and informative. He highly recommends it.
