Welcome to the third volume in our series covering essential Japanese idiomatic expressions.
In this volume, we continue our exploration of Japanese idioms, categorizing them into four thematic sections:
Part 1: Body Part Idioms
Part 2: Animal Idioms
Part 3: Personality and Behavior Idioms
Part 4: Situational Idioms
Each idiom is thoroughly explained, providing:
The expression in Japanese and its figurative English translation
The literal meaning and common usage
Etymology and cultural background where available
An example sentence showcasing the idiom in context
A comprehensive vocabulary breakdown of the example sentence
But that's not all! To enhance your learning experience, this book comes with valuable bonus materials:
1. Free downloadable audio files featuring:
Native pronunciations of all idioms and example sentences
A version with English translations for easy listening practice
2. An Anki flashcard deck to reinforce your learning through spaced repetition
For each idiom, we provide three accompanying sound files. All sound files have been recorded by native Japanese voice actors and actresses. The first sound file is the idiom itself. The second is the example sentence. The third sound file has the idiom, an English translation, the idiom repeated slowly, and the example sentence with translation. Try to mimic the Japanese speakers in sound and presentation. The download link for the complimentary sound files is located on the book's last page.
