パーフェクト旅行

私この本は大好きいです！この人は北海道と東京と大阪と京都に行って、たくさんすごくきれいなしゃしんをとりました。たくさん食べ物のしゃしんがあります。例えば、すし、うなぎ、魚、うに、ももの飲みものともものアイスクリームがあります。私は食べ物が大好きですから。この本をよんて、日本に食べものを食べにいくと思いました。よる、この本を読まないと思いました。

I really like this book and would recommend it to first-year Japanese learners. The author uses vocabulary that we learned, as well as some new vocabulary in describing food and tourist attractions. They also use grammar structures that we’ve just learned!

The author wrote about her traveling in Japan. She visited Hokkaido, Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. She took a lot of beautiful pictures, and most of those pictures are food. While the pictures make me really want to visit Japan and try Japanese food, I would not recommend people reading it at night like I did, because the food simply looks too good.

さかなはどこですか

この本はとてもおもしろいでかわいいと思います。かなりの量のカタカナ漢字があります。この本はかわいいねこがいます。たくさん食べます。

I enjoyed this book! It was easy to read. Therefore,  I recommend this to JPN 110 students. Most of the vocab is from the Genki Book chapter 1-4.  The visuals are really cute and the author thought a lot on the style of the book like the font and the orientation of the book (very creative). To summarize, this book was about a cat named 伯(はく) that goes out on an adventure to find some  fish to eat.

寿司ーすしーSUSHI

この本はとてもおもしろいとおもう。よもむずかしですがたのしです。えがすきです。

This book is very fun because it’s all information about sushi. Different types of sushi, what fish they are made from, and where sushi originated from. It had many unfamiliar words and phrases. I did not notice that this book is actually a level 1 book so that makes sense. Although it is very informational I would recommend that level 0 students not read this as they would have to look up several words and phrases in order to understand.

大豆

この本は大豆について紹介して　面白いと思います。日本人は大豆にたくさん食べ物を作ります。そして、as it is used in many cultural practices, I get to know more about Japanese traditional culture. 本の中で　いろいろ食べ物の写真があったから、読むのが難しくないと思います。

いい漢字の練習です。日本語一年生は読んだほうがいいと思います。

大豆

このほんは　おもしろいです。日本の食べものが　すきです！

This book is about the different forms of soya beans. I did not know they were so many ways of cooking these, and I did not know Japanese people eat them under so many forms! 日本人が　えだまめとしょうゆともやしとなっとうととうふとあぶらを　食べます。すごいです！

This book was really interesting and they even made なっとう cute! I would recommend it for beginners because it is easily understandable. Of course, some words are unknown but they are guessable with the context!

大阪でかぞくりょこう

この本で、サラさんとサラさんのかぞくが大阪に行きました。そこでたくさんおいしい食べ物を食べて、大阪城を見ました。大阪から京都に行きました。京都においしいカフェラテを飲みました。スミス大学で日本語をべんきょうします、日本で日本語を話しますから。

In this book, Sara and her family went to Osaka. There, they ate lots of delicious food, and saw Osaka-jo.From Osaka, they went to Kyoto. In Kyoto, she drank a delicious Cafe Latte. She studies Japanese at Smith College, because she will speak Japanese in Japan.

This book was interesting to read. Since it is a personal story of a student, it was fun to see what she did in Osaka. The pictures were also nice, as they added to the authenticity of this book. There were a few words and kanji that I didn’t know at first, but it was easy enough to approximate the meaning from context and pictures. For this reason, and since it was interesting and informative, I would recommend this book to other first year students.

寿司・すし・sushi

This book introduces history of sushi, history of sushi and simple ways to make sushi. とても面白いです！I learned how to eat sushi in a correct way. Although I eat a lot of sushi and love sushi, I didn’t know how to eat it appropriately until I read this book.

Vocabulary and sentence structures are a little difficult for Japanese beginners, because it contains a lot of kanji (while it is easy to understand for Chinese speakers). But I think 日本語一年生 can understand the content with these cute pictures.

すし

 

この本は家で寿司のつき方を紹介するの本です。私は寿司が大好きなので、様々な寿司を食べたが、この本を読んだ時、たくさんの寿司の種類を見て本当にびっくりしました。いろいろなすしの写真はとても美味しそう。江戸前寿司のつくのは最も難しい気がします。この本を持っていれば、寿司をつきやすくなるに違いない。この寿司が好きな人向けの料理本は、皆さんにすすめたい！

This book is a sushi recipe book and it introduces so many different types of sushi and the ways to make them. Making sushi could be creative. Although sushi seems to be easy to make, but it could take years or decades to master it. There are some new and specific sushi vocabularies in the book, but with the pictures the book is easy to understand.

「お正月」木村家の毎日

 

本の中で、木村家とお正月を祝いたいですか。
やるべきことがたくさんあります！
例えば、お正月の前に。。。カードを書いたり、たくさん家を掃除したりします。
一緒に、すべての家族はおいしい食べ物を食べます。そして、子供たちが遊んで、大人の飲みます。
その後、家族は神社に行って、1月1日になります。

Not only is this book friendly to new readers of Japanese, it is also culturally educational. Why not experience a Japanese New Years’ celebration with the Kimura family? This book is very colorful and easy to interpret. I would recommend it to any beginner.
