ジョンさんは日本に行きました。飛行機の中で、きれいな女の子に合いました。同じい漫画を持ってきました。そして、ラフラフのはなしを始めました。このはなしは簡単で、面白いと思います。読んでくださいね。どころで、辞書を見ないほうがいいですよ。とてもとても簡単ですから。
Unlike the other explanatory books I have read so far, this story has some interesting plot lines. Although the story could easily happened in any other context, I enjoyed this book. I would recommend reading it just for a change, but for those of you who want to target books specifically link to Japanese culture or classic tales, maybe you can skip this.
This book was a very sad book towards the end, and it was a surprise a bit. The story line was very good and easy to understand. These three characters are important for the story and its plot. The colors throughout the book were great, and the illustrations made it seem like dream-like story.
I recommend this book to anyone, the kanji are very easy to understand, about two words to look up but if you can continue to read you already understand where the story is going. A lot of the verbs we already know. Overall, just a nice story to read if you want a surprise.
この本はとても面白いですよ。本の中で、たくさん小説があります。小説はちょっと変ですよ、でもかいがはきれいです。This book is a collection of several very short stories. Some are interesting, and some are a bit strange. But the illustrations are very nice!
I’d recommend this book to any first year student who wants a fairly easy read with not much new grammar. The short stories are fairly easy to understand and the pictures are nice to look at.
このほんはとてもよかったです。たくさんきれいえがあります。おじいさんは親切な人だと思います。うれしい本です。
I would definitely recommend this book to other Japanese 1 students. It is easy enough to read, with only some minor grammar points I didn’t understand, and I knew much of the vocabulary as well. It is a heartwarming story with some very beautiful and unique illustrations.
たくさん漢字ので、難しそうです。でも、難しないんです！左吉さんはお金がほしいですから、観音様に会います。左吉さんは色々人に会います。前の本はもっとおもしろいですから、この本が好きじゃないです。「富士山」が一番好きです。えも、読んでください！
Because there was a lot of kanji, it looked difficult. But it’s actually not! Because Sakichi-san wants money, he visits Kannon-sama. Sakichi-san meets all kinds of people. With the previous books I have read, they were more interesting, so I did not really like this book. Fujisan is my favorite. But I recommend you read it regardless!
この本は良かったです。 それは面白かったです。 日本の夏休みについて話しました。花火を見たり、削り氷を食べたり、本は夏の活動をしています. 文法や単語はとても簡単でした。
I would recommend this book. It is good for beginner-level readers. It has a lot of easy vocabulary and grammar. It was very easy to interpret.
この本は楽しかったと思います。話しが面白かったと思います。私は早く読んで、わらいました。文はとてもみじかくて、かんたんですが、新しい単語がたくさんあります。
I would recommend this book. The kanji were very simple, and all of them had furigana, so there shouldn’t be any problems on that front. The information itself was easy enough to understand with the help of pictures. Give it a whirl!
とてもいい本でしたよ！ちしきとれきしがたくさんあって、面白かったです。いろいろなちいきがあって、きれいな絵もありました。私はこの本を読んでよかったです。れきしが大好きで、ちょっと難しくて、楽しかったです。
I would definitely recommend this book! The explanations were very interesting, and the only difficult bits were the words/kanji for specific parts of the sushi, and how to go about making it. However, it was plenty challenging! I had a lot of fun reading it, and I think others would enjoy it too.
この本は面白かったです。私はとても感動しました。ハチは先生いちばんのともだちでした、でも先生は病気だった、死にました。いえにかえりません。ハチは10年間毎日駅に行って、先生に待ちました。私はハチは寂しかったと思います。
This book is very interesting. It really touches my heart. Hachi is the dog of a college professor, they walk to the train station together everyday, and Hachi wait for the professor at the station in late afternoon to take the professor home. However, the professor died one day, and never return home again. Hachi didn’t know about it, so for ten years, he goes to the train station and wait for the professor’s return. I think Hachi is very very lonely.
I recommend this book to first year Japanese students because it contains a lot of grammar we’ve learned, and I think it will be a great review. Also, there are some new vocabularies that we can learn.
富士山はとても有名です。日本で一番高くて、綺麗です。だから、日本人と外国人が大好きです。この本は富士山の誕生と富士山の近くの観光スポットを紹介しました。この本を読んて、日本に富士山を見たい。紅ふじの湯て温泉に入ったり、朝霧高原て牛を見たり、大日岳て朝日も見たりします。日本を行きたいのが、この本をぜひ読みます。
The book has many kanji and new vocabularies. It is not hard to understand because of the illustrations. The book talks about how the Fuji Mountain formed, why people loves Fuji Mountain and the plan to climb the mountain. If you want to go to Japan and visit Fuji Mountain, I highly recommend this book.
