Format:Paperback
I found this phrasebook really useful. It was small enough to put in my bag and I used it everyday. Even when I could not pronounce certain things I would just show whomever I needed help from and they understood straightaway. It has both English and Japanese dictionary and it came in handy when I fell ill and had to go to the doctors. This is great for anyone who is going to Japan for the first time.

I have basic knowledge of written and spoken Japanese and found this book very helpfull in getting by in day to day things. I lent it to my brother when he visited me in tokyo and he coulnd't have gotten by without it. As most of the Japanese's English is abominable you really need a small pocket dictionary or a phrase book.
Size makes this particular book very handy. I would have liked some more young persons words and catchy phrases.
