Poor quality and incomplete It wants to be a good dictionary, but it ultimately fails. It has its uses, but the tremendous shortcomings make it not worth the purchase. I bought it in a bookstore when I began learning Japanese. At the time, I was too new and excited to really notice what's wrong. There is a supposed key to indicate which syllable to emphasize, but it's incredibly inconsistent and confusing.The worst part is that it is supposed to cover all kinds of basics. But just look on the page listing body parts. You'll notice several very basic body parts are missing from the words provided -- and I promise you that t. Shikata Ga Nai said Excellent. Nice, clear picturesand a great start for most beginning Japanese students. Words shown with Kanji (and Furigana), Romaji, and English. Good learning tool when combined with a good textbook, like Genki, Minna no Nihongo, Nakama, Japanese for Busy People, etc. The pictures are fun too.. "This book is great for anyone learning Japanese and seeking to add to" according to E J Hutton. This book is great for anyone learning Japanese and seeking to add to their vocabulary. The only issue I had is that the CD does not work with my Windows 8 program. It says it is only compatible up to Windows 7.
