## Description

Do you know what the hardest thing for a Japanese learner is? Finding PROPER reading material that they can handle...which is precisely the reason we've written this book! You may have found the best teacher in town or the most incredible learning app around, but if you don't put all of that knowledge to practice, you'll soon forget everything you've obtained. This is why being engaged with interesting reading material can be so essential for somebody wishing to learn a new language. Therefore, in this book we have compiled 20 easy-to-read, compelling and fun stories that will allow you to expand your vocabulary and give you the tools to improve your grasp of the wonderful Japanese language. How Japanese Short Stories for Beginners works: - Each chapter possesses a funny, interesting and/or thought-provoking story based on real-life situations, allowing you to learn a bit more about the Japanese culture.- Having trouble understanding Japanese characters? No problem - we provide you with the English translation below each paragraph, allowing you to fully grasp what you're reading!- The summaries follow a synopsis in Japanese and in English of what you just read, both to review the lesson and for you to see if you understood what the tale was about. Use them if you're having trouble.- At the end of those summaries, you will be provided with a list of the most relevant vocabulary from that chapter, as well as slang and sayings that you may not have understood at first glance! Do not get lost trying to understand or pronounce it all, either, as all of the vocabulary words are Romanized for your ease of learning!- Finally, you'll be provided with a set of tricky questions in Japanese, allowing you the chance to prove that you learned something in the story. Whether it's true or false, or if you're doing the single answer questions, don't worry if you don't know the answer to any - we will provide them immediately after, but no cheating! We want you to feel comfortable while learning Japanese; after all, no language should be a barrier for you to travel around the world and expand your social circles! So look no further!

Review: An indispensible little book - I really can't stress how happy I am that I got this book. I am self-teaching Japanese, and this short story book has been soooo helpful. It also gave me self-confidence to keep going because I get really excited when I understand a sentence! There is furigana above most of the kanji, the line spacing is wide to help you keep your place, it is written left-to-right, and certain words are in bold with glossary definitions. I am still at N4/N5 level, and this is the right difficulty for me--really hard but not impossible. I have gotten through about five stories at a snail's pace, picking up lots of vocab and understanding more grammar as I go. The stories seem to purposely make use of words you encountered in previous stories to give you practice with them. The only critique I can make is that occasionally a word is in bold but was left out of the glossary. A little annoying, but nothing a Google search can't remedy. I only wish there were more books like this from Lingo Mastery. Like maybe a whole set of increasingly difficult short story collections.
Review: Excellent - Great book very easy for learning through reading. Vocabulary list for each story really helps learning. Very good for English speakers learning japanese

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Resource for Japanese Beginners
*by D***B on 30 December 2024*

My daughter is learning Japanese and has found Japanese Short Stories for Beginners incredibly useful. The book has 20 short stories that are easy to follow but still introduce new vocabulary and grammar in a way that feels natural. What she really likes is how the book is organised. Each story is followed by a list of key words, so she doesn’t have to keep flipping back to a dictionary, and there are comprehension questions that help her make sure she understands what she’s read. The stories get a little harder as you go along, which makes it feel like real progress. The stories themselves are varied and interesting, and they give a nice glimpse into Japanese culture while teaching the language. It’s been a great addition to her studies and has made learning a lot more enjoyable. If you’re starting to learn Japanese, or know someone who is, this book is definitely worth considering. It’s practical, fun, and really well thought out.
