How to translate a word into another language?
While I was browsing a book store at an airport, this book title caught my eye. English learners in Japan tend to want to know the exact translation of an English word to Japanese or vice versa. It is possible if things can be clearly defined such as a computer, a camera, an apple, or a pair of shoes. But when a word or phrase is a bit more complicated it is not that straightforward. The book conveys this message very well and it offers a list of Japanese words and how they are translated depending on the context.
The book is adopted from the author’s twitter account so you can check it out.
