5.0 out of 5 stars one of my favorite fun Japanese texts, May 19, 2011

This review is from: Flip, Slither and Bang: Japanese Sound and Action Words (Power Japanese Series) (Paperback)

Filled with great examples of onomatopoeic words in Japanese. Very colloquial usage examples and a nice selection of terms. Great book if:

* your Japanese is pretty good and you'd like to take it to the next level
* you're learning Japanese and want to better understand collequialisms you're hearing
* you don't know any Japanese, but you like the sound of it, and you'd exposure to this fun side of it

Some of my faves include:
- dota-bata
- goro-goro
- shikkari

This book is really a treat, and as far as I know it's one of a kind. Enjoy!
