Book Reviews of Let's Learn Japanese Picture Dictionary
Book Review: Best foreign language picture dictionary for visual learners
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my kids before we moved to Japan but I have ended up using it more often. I have started teaching English to Japanese students (both adults and kids) and this picture dictionary comes in very handy. The pictures are great and it includes a lot of different words, grouped by scenario. For example, the first couple of pages show a house and every thing in the house is labeled. Each room, the furniture/appliances in each room, and various decor in each room. The next couple of pages show a kitchen and many different types of foods that can be found in a kitchen are labeled. Some of the different scenes that are covered are outer space, the ocean, make-believe (which includes a castle and related items), and human history (cavemen) - just to name a few. I recommend this picture dictionary for anyone who is looking to expose themselves or their children to the Japanese language, even if you aren't travelling to or moving to Japan.Book Review: The Best Beginners Dictionary
Summary: 5 Stars
When I ordered this dictionary from amazon, I had no idea what to expect. I guess I kind of expected a small dictionary with colorful pictures inside. Boy was I off. This hardcovered dictionary is huge! The pictures inside are so colourful! Each page is themed and all the words are grouped.
Who do I recomend this book to? Everyone who is currently learning words. It's not the easy stuff inside, like how to say Hello. It also teaches you tons of words that are hard to look up. This book is even perfect for a novice who needs something to checking his work with.And for the price, you can't go wrong.
Overall, I am extremely pleased with my book and I hope to be using it for the next three years.
Post any comments/questions you have on this book and I will try my best to answer them.

Book Review: Japanese Picture Dictionary
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is great for any beginner who is looking to broaden their Japanese vocabulary. It has numerous full page spreads which are interesting and fun to look at. Along the margins are pictures of the objects or people you are learning the Japanese words for along with the romaji and either hiragana, katakana or kanji symbols. My only complaint was that they were not all in simply hiragana or katakana (for reading practice) but were instead in kanji. This is good though considering everything you would read beyond children's level is a combination of the three. Plenty of interesting topics for each layout too, from living room and kitchen to zoo, space and medieval castles! Recommend to any beginner looking to increase their Japanese vocabulary.Book Review: Love the layout of this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never seen a "dictionary" laid out this way, but I love it! Every time you turn a page you get a two page spread of a scene from daily life: school, work, home, neighborhood, etc. - kind of "Where's Waldo" style. Within the picture almost everything is labelled in Japanese. It's really a great idea for helping kids (and adults) link the internal concept of a thing or action with the spoken word for that action, rather than trying the translation approach. A really great learning aid!Book Review: Let's Learn Japanese Picture Dictionary
