Trio Dictionary of Japanese Chinese English


Book Description

This book lists approximately 4,800 core Japanese words with standard Chinese (Mandarin) and English equivalents. Main entries are in Romanized Japanese with Chinese characters, if any. In the second line, pasts of speech label ([n.] for nouns and [v.] for verbs) and the entry’s Chinese equivalents in Pinyin (Romanized standard Chinese pronunciation) followed by Chinese characters (both simplified and traditional if applicable). Then, in the third line, entry’s English equivalents with standard American pronunciation with focus on stressed syllable*in bold print.. A syllable is part of a word that contains one vowel sound. In every word of two or more syllables, one syllable is stressed. It’s called ‘stressed syllable’. The vowel sound in that syllable is louder, higher in pitch, and longer than the other vowel sounds in the same word. The contrast between stressed and unstressed syllables is very important because it helps to create the rhythm of English. The native English speakers rely more on stressed syllable to understand what you say than on the individual sounds of the word. This book is ideal for learners of Japanese, Chinese, and English as a second language who want to communicate more effectively.
