The English-Japanese Dictionary for Padawan Learners is of course aimed at Japanese people studying English, but we think it’d be a great addition to any Japanese-study bookshelf, too. There are some nice touches, too, like a section on body parts illustrated with C-3PO saying “Curse my metal body!” So what can Padawan learners get from using this dictionary? There are some great classic lines, like “I have a bad feeling about this” (under the entry for “bad”), and “As you wish” (for “as”), with decent, level-appropriate explanations in Japanese.
One thousand words are listed, with example sentences and situations taken from George Lucas’ original trilogy. Unlike that other "Star Wars" dictionary we talked about earlier in the year – the one that teaches you to talk like Darth Vader – this is actually a fully functional academic dictionary, using junior high school level English. I shelved it unfinished knowing how very limited my translation and subbing skills.
Ever wondered how to say “Vader wants us all dead” in Japanese? Well, now’s your chance. This is the Star Wars English-Japanese Dictionary for Padawan Learners.
