Or perhaps, your hiragana is no problem, but you want to build your hiragana and kanji reading comprehension?\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis new collection of stories is here to the rescue! \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRead real Japanese-beginner level but not boring Japanese! You won't find the Japanese version of Dick and Jane, but you will find stories written for adults. Enjoy reading flash fiction, super short essays, and funny stories of common mistakes made by learners of Japanese. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBest of all, the only requirement is that \u003cb\u003eyou can read hiragana\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003ehave a very basic understanding of Japanese.\u003c\/b\u003e Vocabulary and grammar will be defined and explained.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe format is a little different from our other more advanced readers. The idea is for the reader to read the entire story three times. Each page will have a sentence or two in hiragana (with spaces between words for you to see \"words\" instead of syllables) at the top and that same content in full Japanese (with furigana-small hiragana over kanji) at the bottom. The middle will have the glossary and grammatical explanations. Lastly, the story is presented in Japanese without furigana. See if you can read it after going through the previous two versions and explanations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you have just learned hiragana, you may want to listen to the sound file while reading the hiragana section to practice correct pronunciation. If you have studied Japanese a bit longer, you may want to start with the bottom version and take note of the glossary for understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe glossary will have the word as it appears in the story, but it will also give the \"dictionary\" form so you can look the word up further.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaving fun while learning a language is a great way to increase motivation. With increased motivation, you are less likely to skip a day's study. A skipped day can quickly become a lost week and then a lost... forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd so, we hope you will have as much fun reading these stories as we had writing them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-7194554\"\u003eYumi Boutwell\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12616887\"\u003eJohn Clay Boutwell\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/13\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798594668263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LAN\"\u003eLanguage Arts \u0026amp; Disciplines\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LAN013000\"\u003eReading Skills\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42653692461293,"sku":"9798594668263","price":18.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_7d6a0808-85cc-453a-844e-acd7985eee12.jpg?v=1649253584","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/yonde-miyo-short-and-fun-japanese-stories-in-hiragana-and-basic-kanji-9798594668263","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
