someone said take another translation book with you - might not hurt to take this one as well. Might help you avoid insulting someone.
Then again, "When do you want me to knock you up?" Means entirely different things in England and America, doesn't it? (In America it's likely to get you knocked down.)

If you're buying this to genuinely learn Japanese, don't! Luckily I was taking a Japanese class when I got this book and the professor advised me that several sections did not say what the book claimed they did.

It's a good laugh, and some of it is right, but unless you speak the language reasonably well already, I would not recommend this book.

Not quite wicked enough for my taste or needs. Or at least it didn't give me much of the words i needed to know or the words i hear--interesting nonetheless.
