"My food is overcooked"
Not bad, but it's missing some basic stuff and has too many ways to complain.

Somewhat eclectic phrase selection....
This book reminds me of a certain Hungarian phrasebook ("My hovercraft is full of eels!"). It started out well, with a brief overview of hiragana/katakana, and then a list of colors and a variety of sentences in which to use the words for colors. I'm uncertain if I'll ever need the phrase "Can you paint my house blue?" in an emergency travel situation, but it's good to see how the sentences are formed. Then there's a section on numbers, one on dates, and there are some of the expected sections: greetings, small talk, medical, directions. Each section feels like it was generated by AI, with some useful phrases: "Yes", "No", "Can you understand English?", "Can you help me?" mixed in, very randomly, with some somewhat unusual options such as "How much trouble would I get in if I did that?" and, as mentioned by another reviewer, "I am president of the credit union." From there, it continues to get weirder. The section on "Children and Pets" contains the phrases "There's dog poop on the floor. Clean it up." and "You're not wearing that to bed." The "Date Night" section contains "Do you know how to do the salsa?", "Will you marry me?" and "Where is the cutlery?" My favorite is "Money and Shopping": "The carpet in this apartment needs to be pulled up," "There is really good horse racing in the area," and "We should go running with the bulls!" More practically, the phrases aren't alphabetized, or really organized in any way other than by section, so if you're trying to find "Will you dream of me?" ("Date Night") or "Why is YouTube buffering every video I play?" ("Technology") or "Look at the shape of that cloud!" ("Small Talk"), you're going to be doing some page flipping. The book is too big to carry along in one's pocket for emergencies in the field, as it were, so I'm not sure it will be substantially more useful than Google Translate on my phone. On the other hand, it's hilarious, and, if you're just learning the basics and beginning to put words together, it's a good list of some already-put-together sentences so you can do things like slot your own vocabulary into "Is that animal dangerous?" and be able to ask if SO MANY THINGS are dangerous. Three stars for being a good time, and for "We should go running with the bulls!"

Love it
I bought so I coukd talk more with my non- English speaking Japanese friends. We all had a good laugh with this. I was able to pronounce words well enough that my friends could figure out what I was saying. It was more for fun though!

Advanced learners will like!
Great book to help you develop your reading skills. Simple sentences of common situations you might encounter on a visit to Japan . What I really like is that furigana is used. I’m an advanced beginner the furigana is nice and easy to read. You won’t need a magnifying glass

Detailed and extensive range of topics covered
Lots of really good language settings covered and most sentences could be used in various Japanese settings. The language is general use polite form and so useful for the tourist visitor dealing with formal situations although there are sections on small talk and dating .The sentences in Japanese include kanji and kana for the more advanced learners while underneath each sentence the guide to pronunciation is clear and easy to follow for the beginner.
