Book Reviews of Let's Learn Japanese Picture Dictionary

Book Review: Excellent Resource for English or Japanese Speaker
Summary: 5 Stars

Lets Learn Japanese Picture Dictionary is a Japanese learning resource targeted at 4-7 graders but one I find to be useful even as an adult. With over 1500 words grouped by subject (usually a place or locale), it shows the scene (reminiscent of Richard Scarry but with lesser artwork and no animals) and then breaks out the individual items. The items are indentified in English, "Romaji" (Japanese word with Roman letters) and then in Japanese (hiragana, katakana, or kanji as appropriate).

I really like this when compared to other, similar items such as First Thousand Words In Japanese, as the Lets Learn Japanese Picture Dictionary has the English so it can be used by Japanese speakers. I find that having the picture helps reinforce the idea when compared to just seeing the word. Another feature I like is the Japanese-English glossary and index in the back that helps locate a word in either Japanese or English. The inclusion of Romaji makes this usable by even those who cannot (or in my case forgotten how to) read Japanese kanji or kana. I bought one copy for myself (and my native Japanese speaking wife) and one for my nieces and nephews in Japan. I highly recommend it as a handy practice resource for kids and even adults learning Japanese.
