Parents' English to Japanese Phrase Book

By Abigail Fulbrook

Your baby accidentally grabbed a shoe from a shop, you need to return it… what do you say?

In the supermarket, your toddler drops cut fruit all over the floor then starts melting down when you try to stop him eating it, and you still have to pay for the fruit… 

 

If you're a parent in Japan and don't speak much Japanese, such situations can leave you flustered. Luckily this phrasebook will help. It includes:

• Polite and appropriate phrases for all sorts of situations
• A link to handy free audio recordings
• What to say to doctors, teachers, shop staff, other parents and children 
• How to ask for advice about getting food stains off the sofa.

The Parent's Phrase Book covers what normal textbooks and phrasebooks don't. Open it to learn how to explain that your kid fell off the swing and bumped into another child, or you've lost your house keys, or that the toys were already broken when you arrived... Honest!

 

Abigail Fulbrook is a mother of two fruit-dropping children and lives in Chiba with her Japanese husband. When she's not returning stolen shoes, she's an expert English teacher and author of English books for learners.

Abigail Fulbrook

Abigail Fulbrook had no idea she would end up living in Japan, let alone being married to a Japanese man with two daughters, otherwise she would have started learning Japanese much sooner. アビゲイル・フルブルックは、最終的に日本に住むことになろうとは全く考えていませんでした。日本人の夫と結婚し、2人の娘をもうけ、すぐに日本語を学び始めることになりました。 Now she lives in Chiba-ken with her husband, daughters, and far too much crafting material. In her spare time, she is developing a love of craft chocolate, kanji, and knitting.  夫、娘たちと千葉県に住み、手作りの品々に凝っています。時間があれば、チョコレートを作ったり、漢字を勉強したり、編み物をしたりしています。
