Jazz Up Your JApanese with Onomatopoeia for All Levels

---

Onomatopoeia is one of the most outstanding features of the Japanese language. Its acquisition is essential for students who wish to speak (or understand) natural Japanese, read literature or manga, or watch anime in the original. the problem is that Japanese onomatopoeic words are so different from their English equivalents (words such as pop, bang, splat, and squeak) that they are extremely hard to remember and put into practice.

The book begins with an introduction that outlines what "onomatopoeia" means in both English and Japanese. It covers sound and meaning in general
Learn Japanese onomatopoeia through situational dialogues:
- a new lease on life
- a business lunch
- a man's place
- a big headache
- feeling out of sorts?
- the trials of middle managers
- a spat
- smoothing thins over
- "pretty woman"
- a romantic flair
- the rush hour
