I purchased this book new from a bookstore and have kept it at home unused. It is in very beautiful condition (please refer to the photos). (From the official description) Do you ever feel like there are common Japanese words you use in everyday conversation, like "hekomu" (to be down), "bucchake" (to be frank), "hamaru" (to be hooked), "sakutto" (quickly), and "mattari" (to relax), that are hard to translate into English? This book, by Mr. David Thayne, a best-selling author with nearly 4 million copies of his books sold, expertly translates the subtle nuances of Japanese into expressions that native English speakers will understand. It includes a wealth of phrases, with example sentences and explanations, that you can use right away, categorized by situation, such as "everyday words," "buzzwords," "words used in online and email communication," and "words used on social media." =========================== Author: David Thayne Size: 46 variant, 224 pages Published: February 20, 2014 Price: 1100 yen (tax included) Publisher: Asahi Shimbun Publications ISBN: 9784022511461 =========================== #English #EnglishPhrases #CurrentEventsEnglish #Colloquialisms #Buzzwords
