This learner's dictionary has an emphasis on the language used in hospitality, tourism and business situations involving Japanese language in general. The dictionary should suit users who have some knowledge of the language but who are not comfortable reading written Japanese. It therefore uses a romaji script.

Unlike most other dictionaries, this dictionary concentrates on spoken rather than written language. Both everyday and more polite expressions are given, allowing hospitality providers to master the language that Japanese visitors and clients should find appropriate, and avoiding embarrassment from inappropriate usage.
