sloppy formatting and too many errors,

This review is from: Lonely Planet Japanese Phrasebook (Paperback)
This book has the right idea: a pocket-sized book with a good variety of useful everyday phrases, organized by subject. However, there are enough flat-out mistakes to be pretty annoying. Also, the English and Japanese did not line up perfectly on the page which, in combination with the the print being quite small, made it difficult to figure out which defintion went where (perhaps this is not a problem with all these books but it was with mine). But most annoying are the errors and typos.

Japanese Made Easy,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lonely Planet Japanese Phrasebook (Paperback)
I found this book very useful and easy to understand. I would recommend this book to people who have had no background in the language and those who have studied but have forgotten some of it. This book is very practical and may inspire to want to learn more Japanese!

This book is great! ( MY review) I'm a skitzo and so am I!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lonely Planet Japanese Phrasebook (Paperback)
this book is wonderful! It's perfect for a traveler or someone who just wants to learn Japanese. It gives you uncompleted sentences like "I like-" or "I have a-" and then provides you with words in the English-Japanese dictionary in the back. It also has things listed by categories like "student life" and "request and complaints". In the back there is also a Japanese-English dictionary. This awesome book also contains the Hiranga and Katakana alphabets. I highly recommend this book to anyone who's even bothered to read my reveiw.
