Common Japanese Collocations is the first book to answer the question, Which word combinations are the most frequent in everyday Japanese speech? Through six chapters covering all aspects of daily life, this groundbreaking volume introduces more than 3,200 collocations--word pairings the Japanese use all the time--with which students can refine their speech and enrich their vocabulary.
