This is an application designed to help you communicate with local Japanese "decently" and "bi-directionally" when you are traveling in Japan.

Normal phrase book apps are "uni-direction": you can only express what you want to say, but its hard to understand the response from the locals. Moreover, due to the cultural differences, some of the phrases are not "appropriate" to say in regard to the situation. This app lists out the most often used dialogs for a place as well as the likely responses to help on "bi-directional" communication!

這是一個幫助你旅遊日本時能更顧及禮儀的「相向」溝通軟件。
一般iPhone的旅遊詞典或用語手冊軟件的缺點是只能作單向表達!做成的難題是只說日語的對方不能有效回應你的發問。而且不理文化背景的單方說話不時會令你留下不禮貌的印象!

這軟件將對話分成場所。不單你在各場所可能用到的句子,連對方的各種可能回應也包含在內。你亦可運用本軟件的手寫記事簿功能寫下日語生字(如車站或食物名稱),甚至畫下地圖或圖示!對話由日本人錄制真人發聲!

. Bi-directional dialogs for both you and the person you are communicating with.
. Freehand sketch pad to jog down/type/paste Japanese terms, map direction, illustrations etc for communication.
. Real voiceover of dialogs by native Japanese speaker.
. Cultural difference reminder notes to help you enjoy your stay in Japan better.
. Supported both English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Romaji translation.
. App run locally, no internet connection required.

. 付自由手寫版功能:以手趾寫、打、剪貼字(如地方名)畫圖(如地圖)幫助溝通。
. 不失禮游日貼市幫你避免文化不同做成的尷介。
. 支援繁簡體中文、英文及羅馬字拼音。
. 本軟件一但安裝後便不雖連接網落使用。
