Looking for a Japanese \"text\"book that's as fun as it is educational? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eLearn how to use ninety-nine essential Japanese onomatopoeic sound words with this book and the included Anki flashcard deck and sound files.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJapanese has many words that symbolize sounds (onomatopoeia) or soundless actions or feelings (mimetic words). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere are two main types of these words: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e擬音語 giongo-onomatopoeia [a word that imitates a sound.]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e擬態語 gitaigo-ideophones or mimetic word [a word that mimics something that doesn't make a sound.]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eWe have this in English too. Think of the 1960s' Batman TV series. Bang! POW! Boom! Or the sounds animals make but really aren't very representative. Bow-wow. Chirp. Cluck cluck. These are all English examples of giongo. What about gitaigo? We don't use words that mimic non-sounds too much, but there are a few in English: twinkle twinkle, glimmer, and willy-nilly. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach of the ninety-nine entries begins with the target word itself and several English definitions. This is followed by a single example sentence showing usage. At the bottom of the page are some notes either about the word itself or the example sentence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe are also including, for no extra charge, an Anki flashcard deck of all the words.
