Tokyo? No Problem
I recently got wind of an up-coming book called "Tokyo? No Problem", which is geared toward people wanting to try their hand in Japan.
After having been here for awhile, you start to get lots of questions from people wanting to experience it too. Some of their questions seem unanswerable, some seem like they'd take pages upon pages of emails to answer, and some are flawed from their very premise. I have a hard time trying to figure out how to help my fellow adventurers out, and it helps me understand why there weren't many people available to help me out when I was coming over here.
The book is called Tokyo? No Problem and while it will be available on Amazon, there is already a good bit of introductory information up for browsing, which will help to narrow down your search through the table of contents to find the section addressing your particular needs.
Not only that, but the information on the website is additional and complementary to the book, which means great, free info!
The The book is geared for people who are planning to be in Japan for the
long haul as well as those on a working holiday visa or visiting
students. Lots of people end up wanting to stay and still have so much they want to learn. This book should help out.
And it's nice that the book encourages you to learn not just enough Japanese phrases to get by, but a basic start on reading too, which should serve as an encouragement to anyone under the false impression that Japanese is too hard!
