One thing I have been having difficulty with are phrases using the demonstratives. Within minuets of first opening this book, I was able to find the meaning of a particularly troubling statement, without which I would have completely misunderstood what Naruto's feelings were.The writing is very clear and the explanations of the subtle differences in the nuances of similar phrases are easy to understand. The examples are tremendous, with many full dialogs that put the phrases in a clear context. They feel like things people would really say. No "See Dick. See Dick run" here. A possible down side for some (not me, I like things hard) is that some of the examples are a bit hard to understand for beginners without some thought.This book has become one of my "go to" references. I am sure that I will out grow it at some point, but for now it is invaluable. ### ⭐⭐ Not good for those who have not mastered a large vocabulary of Kanji. *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 22, 2017* If you are a beginner/intermediate level student be aware that this book assumes that you know all standard Kanji.Unlike ths authors Common Japanese Collocations book this one does not have furagana for the Kanji and there are a LOT of Kanji. This results in a beginning/intermediate learner being forced to read the romaji instead of reading the kana as they should be. Be prepared to be frustrated as you bounce back an forth between the romaji and kana trying to guess the pronuciation of the various Kanji.The initial word/phrase is given in kana ONLY (no romaji) with Kanji. If you don't know the Kanji you have to look for the word/phrase in one of the example sentances (which has romaji) to even know what you are about to learn. Very time consumming and frustrating.The core content of the book is very good. If it had proper furagana (instead of romaji) to help students learn the Kanji it would rate a 5 star rating. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend *by L***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 11, 2017* Extremely useful for beginning Japanese, but must have a common grasp of all the different letters and symbols in the language. This is a valuable tool for anyone who wants to learn Japanese in an easy and effective way. Once you get the grammar down, it becomes much easier to replace words with others to create effective and easily understood and correct phrases for conversation. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/10001043-japanese-core-words-and-phrases-things-you-cant-find-in](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/10001043-japanese-core-words-and-phrases-things-you-cant-find-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-06*
