3.0 out of 5 stars 初心者向け, 2007/2/25
NHK出版さんは他にも幾つかの外書を出版されていらっしゃいますが、その中でこの本は初心者向けと言えるでしょう。

基本的な文法と単語だけ知っていればスラスラと読めますし、辞書にも載っていないような独特の表現には巻末語注が大変役立ってくれます。

1章数十分もあれば読めますので、1日1章を目安にされてみては如何でしょうか?

※初心者の方にとっては良本ですが、中級者〜上級者の方々には簡単過ぎるかもしれません。

5.0 out of 5 stars Read and enjoy!, 2007/5/21
"Oops and Goofs" is a sequel of sorts to the author's earlier "Takes and Mistakes" (NHK Shuppan, 2004). Both books are funny--you'll laugh out loud--and heartwarming at the same time. What sets Elwood's books apart from others is her attitude: she writes as a participant in Japanese life, not merely an observer; and frequently the humour is at her own expense. There's not a whiff of disdain and no smart-alecky remarks either in her warm, friendly, sometimes bemused essays about learning to fit in, get along, and be happy in Japan. Whether you're a recent arrival or a long-term resident, don't miss these charming pieces. They're also fun to read and talk about with students.

5.0 out of 5 stars 楽しめた!, 2007/4/2
外国人の目から見た、おかしな日本といった類の本はよくあるが、これだけ平易な英語で、日常のちょっとした場面を楽しく描きつつ、ユーモアと日本への愛情が感じられるエッセーは初めてだった。勘違いを楽しみつつ、日本を愛し、人を愛し、生活を愛して、異文化で生きる作者の姿勢に感心。それが原語で読めるのは、異文化に興味のある読者には大きな収穫。
