Description: Oxford's Starter dictionaries break fresh ground in language learning, providing essential information in a unique way. Specially designed for beginners, these indispensable reference volumes are not merely scaled-down versions of larger dictionaries. Rather, every effort has been made to approach the foreign language from the point of view of the beginning student who may be unfamiliar with the conventions of the more traditional bilingual dictionaries, which assume a basic knowledge of the language. Most Starter dictionaries contain nearly 20,000 words, covering everyday vocabulary and core survival phrases. From irregular verb forms to common idiomatic usage, these accessible books offer generous coverage of those aspects of the foreign language that are more likely to confuse English speakers. Thorough yet user-friendly, these innovative teaching tools are unparalleled in the world of language reference.

Specially designed to take students from beginner level through their first years of study, this extraordinary new dictionary is ideal for anyone wanting a clear and easy-to-use dictionary for the Japanese language.

It also presents thousands of example phrases drawn from real-life situations to help illustrate how translations are really used.
