[Chrysanthos · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent dictionary that covers most of the basic definitions. This book is divided in 15 categories depending on what you want to know about. (people,appearance,health,home,services,shopping,food,eating out,study,work,transportation,sports,leisure,environment and reference)
It is consisted by pictures and their descriptions in English, hiragana and kanji so that you can familiarize yourself.
Overall it is a very good dictionary for the beginner and the intermediate student of the Japanese language.
