Japanese Version of Learning Irish due in January

The Japanese translation of Mícheál Ó Siadhail's Learning Irish is due on 24 January 2008, published by Kenkyusha, Tokyo, with the ISBN 4327394122. The editor in chief, Prof. Kuninao Nashimoto of Hosei University, Japan, has made the Japanese version more readily accessible for Japanese learners than the original and probably more user-friendly than the German version, with many features including detailed translator's grammatical notes and helpful explanatory materials.
