On that matter, if anybody could suggest one or two specific books of this kind that you found helpful and well-made it'd be awesome. Only, it should be available on Amazon.co.jp (I live in Italy) and have English as the target language. There are so many out there and it's impossible to tell which ones are good for this "reversed use" from the outside. Besides, I always go with recommendations when it comes to books :D Thanks again and keep it up! Nice post, thank you Momoko!

I can handle the English not being natural, as long as I get the meaning, but it is crucial for the Japanese to be natural. And unlike an English -> Japanese textbook, they won't hold back on difficult Japanese grammar at the risk of sounding unnatural, because even Japanese kids can pretty much understand all the Japanese grammar you could throw at them. I'm glad to hear you had success with this, I may look into it.
