The Oxford Japanese for Beginners Dictionary is an innovative guide for learning the Japanese language. Specifically designed for English-speaking adults who are starting from scratch or refreshing their lost language skills, it offers a user-friendly dictionary, additional vocabulary support, and essential information about life and interaction in the Japanese-speaking world.

The dictionary is extremely easy to use, as it moves away from the traditional dictionary layout. All main translations are preceded by the equals sign, making them instantly recognizable, and all parts of the entry are fully written out, avoiding confusing terminology and abbreviations. Grammar and usage notes throughout the text warn of potential translation pitfalls, and thousands of sample phrases demonstrate how the language is used in context.

The 30-page Learning and Lifestyle Kit provides essential information about the Japanese language, including a list of words you need to know, grammar support, and verb tables, as well as information about life in the Japanese-speaking world: details on lifestyle and culture, tips on etiquette and language interaction, and a phrase-finding tool for use while traveling.

The Oxford Japanese for Beginners Dictionary is your essential companion for learning the Japanese language.
