Japanese help books

Hi,

A couple of weeks ago I read here about a book or booklet (maybe just a chart) with some sample questions and answers or some kind of diretions that a non-Japanese speaker can point to a Japanese person. The Japanese person then can choose a reply from a selection and point it out. That way, one can ask for simple directions and other simple questions to Japanese people.

I think it was sold in Japan. Does any one have an idea what I am talking about and point out where I can get it, whether in Japan or in the US.

Thank you for your help.

This book is great, it shows basic conversation in various occasions (including asking for directions) with pictures and Japanese/English.
You can use it as a phrase book, also even if you don't know a word in Japanese, you can point it to Japanese to ask questions.

It is available at a book shop at Narita Airport, also from Amazon.co.jp.

Yes, the Point... series of books are nice to have. Easy to use and understand.

You can also have any USA Kinokuniya Japanese bookstore send a copy to you before you leave - they usually have these in stock in store.

For the Nintendo DS, they also have an series of the same in cartridge format - thus, you can also use a Nintendo DS + Point.. cartridge. HOwever, the menus are all in Japanese (but you can usually figure out where things are after trial and error). Convenient for those who already know a little Japanese.

Thanks for your replies.
