Summary:
A desire to communicate heart-to-heart with people from another
culture is what attracts many people to language study in the first
place. But it can take a long time to make friends and feel socially
comfortable in a Japanese-speaking context, and there are few
textbooks that can help. This volume does just that, by collecting
and discussing more than 400 phrases that are useful when talking
about personal experience and nuances of feeling. With this book you
can learn to say that you like someone, love someone, respect
someone, have a thing for someone, have a crush on someone, still
carry a torch for someone, have no feelings either way for someone,
or wouldn't give someone the time of day. You can tease a friend
about their new relationship, talk about children or parents, vent
anger or express sympathy. You can learn many different ways to thank
a person or to respond to a compliment, and the specific attitude
that each conveys. All entries are defined and then amplified with
two or three sample sentences. The naturalness of the sentences keeps
the reading interesting, and makes it easier to gain not only passive
understanding but the confidence to start using these phrases right
away in conversation. Impress your boss, charm your neighbor,
apologize to a co-worker. This handy guide will be welcomed by anyone
hoping to make Japanese friends and influence Japanese people.
