Fifty words you will actually need in a Japanese restaurant: asking for a table, reading the menu, mentioning an allergy, ordering, and splitting the bill. Each word comes with three example sentences, so you see how it is used and not just what it means. Written for beginners.
What's inside
- 50 restaurant words, each with its meaning, a note on how it is used, and a kanji breakdown that shows why the word means what it means.
- 150 example sentences, three per word, each broken down word by word with grammar notes.
- Pitch accent diagrams for many of the words, so you know how they sound, not just how they are read.
- Five chapters of ten words. Each ends with a quiz, a matching exercise and a short dialogue that puts the words into a real conversation. Answer key in the back.
- Audio of every word, every example sentence and every dialogue. Scan the QR code on a dialogue page to listen.
