Format:Mass Market Paperback
I have seen several romanised dictionaries since I began to learn this language and I must say that this is the best one I have come across so far.
With over 50,000 entries, this book should cover most words that a beginner or intermediate learner will encounter.
As a beginner in Japanese, I have found the romanised Japanese very helpful. But even better, as I am beginning to learn to read the Japanese characters, the Kanji included next to each translation makes this book even more useful at the next level.
It even contains a Romanji/Hiragana/Katakana syllable chart at the start as a handy reference for all level of learners.
I would recommend this book to any beginner who has yet to find a decent dictionary and to intermediate learners who are looking for extra resource material.

well this book has everything i need to know in order to look up phrasesand find out certain words if needed. The kanji characters are also veryuseful as i recently started drawing manga and find it useful to drawjapanese characters on the background signs.
It also tells you how the word is spelt in english and so you can practicepronuncing it. With over 5,000 entries i recommend this book for anyonewanting to learn some basic japanese. I will also be taking this book wheni plan my visit for Japan ^_^

I wanted a Romaji-based two-way dictionary. I browsed through several at a bookshop in Japan and this one looked the best. It contained no obscene words, but neither did the others, so I bought this one anyway.
The book is supposed to have 50 000 entries and contains a brief grammar and kana tables. Occasionally, you can't make out all the strokes of a Kanji due to small print, but these are very few. Almost all are clearly readable.
I am quite a beginner in Japanese, but for my my purposes, this book is perfectly fine.

I love this dictionary, mainly for the fact that it allows you to search for words phonetically, and also gives you an incredibly useful translation in romaji - the main reason to... Read more
