Japanese Usage and Collocation Dictionary
This convenient pocket dictionary of essential Japanese collocations, compiled by Maekawa Kazuhiko, is one of a series of useful little dictionaries for the Japanese student.

The Japanese Usage Dictionary (Yoji Yogo Jiten) is a useful tool to help the learner understand the context in which Japanese vocabulary is used and common Japanese collocations - find out which words go together to form natural-sounding sentences. Thus, this little dictionary will improve your feel for the language, and because it is all in Japanese it will wean you away from dependency on translations and thus build your confidence in your reading skills.

The dictionary measures a little under 7" x 6" so it so it can be carried anywhere with ease and is packed with the following features:

  • Headword is given in kanji/kana form
  • Furigana readings to aid comprehension.
  • Every word is followed by one, two or even three example phrases and collocations to show the word in context.
  • 12,300 entries - a MASSIVE expansion in size and range compared to the previous edition featured here (which listed only 6,000 terms) at NO extra cost to you!
