This dictionary is best for intermediate - advanced learners of Japanese, who are fluent in reading and speaking in Japanese, but still not confident enough in using proper numeratives (classifiers) in cases of counting things. Although this book is written in Japanese with some kanji characters, non-native readers who read hiragana letters can find the target noun easily followed by a list of available numeratives. Most of the numeratives accompany furigana letters to show how to read them. | |
