      Japonia to kraj który nas fascynuje. To kraj, który zaskakuje dziwnością - dziwny jak japoński teleturniej, mówimy czasem. To kraj, w którym kierowca zawracający na pustej drodze przed falą tsunami zawraca na trzy razy włączając skrupulatnie kierunkowskaz za każdym nawrotem. Kłaniamy się z pełnym szacunkiem... skrywając szeroki uśmiech. Ta książka jest fascynującym zbiorem esejów amerykańskiego konsultanta biznesowego, który w latach pięćdziesiątych osiadł w Japonii, by w wolnych chwilach poświęcić się swojej pasji - zrozumieniu mentalności Japończyków poprzez język. Udało mu się stworzyć pakiet wiedzy tak nabity spostrzeżeniami i szczegółami, że ich przyswojenie jest dla czytelnika przygodą i kopalnią ciekawostek na całe tygodnie. Wreszcie Japonia to kraj, w którym za chwilę odbędzie się Olimpiada - może warto go zatem szczególnie teraz lepiej poznać!

Perfect for students, tourists, or business people learning Mandarin or traveling to China or Taiwan, it also contains a beginner guide to the Mandarin language, allowing for a deeper understanding of Chinese than a typical Mandarin phrasebook or Chinese dictionary. The book is broken into four basic sections: Common Chinese Expressions and Key Words, Essential Chinese Communication Tools, Chinese Travel Vocabulary, and making your own sentences. All Chinese words and phrases are written in Romanized form (pinyin) as well phonetically, making pronouncing Chinese a breeze. For example, the word for "reservation", yuding is also written as yuu-deeng. Authentic Chinese characters are also included so that in the case of difficulties the book can be shown to the person the user is trying to communicate with."--Publisher's description
