85 Basic Expressions of Japanese Honorifics for Quick and Easy Use
This excellent book, part of the very popular Speak Japanese! series, is focused on helping Japanese language learners get a fundamental mastery of the notoriously difficult Japanese honorific language, keigo.
Before starting the book, the reader will first learn what keigo is and its role in society. You will learn the basic characteristics of Japanese people and Japanese society, such as the awareness of "uchi to soto" (inside group and outside group) and how to use keigo depending on the person with whom you are conversing.
The first chapter of the book is dedicated to helping readers learn the basics of keigo, such as “dochira” and “donata” instead of “doko” and “dare”, and how to use honorific prefixes and suffixes.
The second and third chapters of the book introduce specific polite words and phrases in respectful and humble Japanese. Each word or phrase is given its own dedicated double-page section, with examples of how to use it and the opportunity to practice yourself. This clear and concise layout is really one of the biggest strengths of this book, and in fact, all of the Speak Japanese! series. Readers can focus on one word or phrase at a time and get to master them at their own pace.
The second part of the book focuses on sentence patterns and expressions for specific purposes and functions, such as requests, initiations, proposals, refusals, statements, opinions, and permissions. It also has a section dedicated to certain situations, with phrases and examples for practical use in a variety of settings, such as at school, in the office, in a factory, working at a convenience store or restaurant, in a job interview, and many more.
This is a great book focused on one area that really helps make a difficult language point like keigo manageable. A must for all high-beginner to high-intermediate Japanese learners.
