<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>This glossary lists more than 7,200 Japanese terms from the three volumes of <em>Learn to Read in Japanes</em>e, including definitions, explanations of word derivations when possible, mnemonics for many of the words, and thousands of synonyms.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Since each kanji character in the Japanese language is associated with its own unique vocabulary, <strong>the study of kanji unavoidably requires that students learn many new Japanese words</strong>. To help you organize and keep track of the new words that are introduced in our three <strong><em>Learn to Read in Japanese</em></strong> books, we have assembled this <strong>companion glossary</strong>.</p><p>The glossary lists more than <strong>7,400 Japanese terms</strong> that are used in the three books, and it provides <strong>definitions</strong> and <strong>memory aides</strong> for nearly every term. The memory aides are of <strong>two types: explanations</strong> which describe how the listed terms are derived from other known Japanese words, <strong>or</strong> when such explanations aren't possible, <strong>mnemonics</strong> to help you to remember the terms' definitions and pronunciations. The glossary also identifies more than 8,000 <strong>synonyms</strong> (or at least "related terms") which make it possible for you to compare similar words side by side.</p><p>Of course, this glossary cannot replace a good Japanese dictionary, nor is it intended to do so. However, it includes thousands of <strong>explanations</strong>, <strong>mnemonics</strong> and <strong>synonyms</strong> that you won't find in a standard dictionary, and it focuses precisely on the terms that you will encounter in the three <em>Learn to Read in Japanese</em> books. We think that it will help to make your Japanese study easier and more interesting.</p>
