Title: Don't Buy
Product review: I live in Japan so take it from me, this book is not good. A lot of the vocab is painfully inaccurate. In fact, I wonder at times how this book was ever published. For example, the book claims the word, "domo" means, "Thank you very much." If you walk around in Japan saying, "domo" to people you don't know you will be viewed as incredibly rude. "Domo" is a, "thanks" to be used among friends only and in no context does it mean, "thank you very much." The book is poorly laid out and does not make a great deal of sense. The only reason I gave it two stars is because it has a few decent pointers on etiquette. Get it from a library if you can but DO NOT buy this. For those of you expecting to speak conversational Japanese in 7 days as the title suggests, it won't happen. The title is as such because the book is meant to be read over 7 days.
