Hundreds of sample phrases, sentences and conversations show how the dialect works in everyday situations, ranging from shopping to dealing with the boss. And while you're leaning about the nuances of <i>Kansai-ben</i>, you will have fun reading about Kansai cuisine, sports and specialties. <p/>So open your mouth when you speak, roll your r's, and try out this colorful dialect. With your copy of <i>Colloquial Kansai Japanese</i>, you will soon be among friends in Kansai.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>D.C.
