Title: Momma said, "If you can't say something nice..."
Review: This book contains Japanese slang, curses and many of the phrases required to make a romantic connection or sever one. It is a lot of fun, partially because it's hard to believe that someone would actually think to write this kind of stuff down. Overall, it's pretty amusing and is good for anyone with an interest in the language.For serious Japanese language students this book may not be the best choice. Because the language has evolved since the book's publication, the slang presented isn't really up to date. Furthermore, it's easy for novice speakers of a language to use slang and idioms at inappropriate times. The results can be pretty funny to native speakers.This book needs to be updated but is still a good addition to your bookshelf. Be aware, however, that Volume One has all the choicest bits and is the better buy.
