| Brief Description: | Learn to speak to your Japanese friends and lovers using the colorful, colloquial language your Japanese teacher wouldn’t teach you. From “I want to know more about you” (Anata-ni-tsuite motto shiritai) to “Do you want to come to my place?” (Uchi-ni Kuru?), here is all the language you need to start a romance and keep it rolling. If things get serious, you’ll be ready with the right proposal: “Will you make my miso soup for breakfast?” (Choshoku-no miso-shiru-o tsukuttekureru?) And plenty of fighting words will help you let off steam. All entries are annotated for gender usage, and colorful anecdotes will clue you in on the occasions--and possible implications--of the many candid, casual phrases. |
