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.
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.
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。説明書があって、かわいい絵もありました。私はこの本を読んでよかったです。でも、文がみじかすぎるので、とても簡単本でした。
I would recommend this book. The sentences were pretty short and simplistic, and there wasn’t a whole lot of kanji, but it was informative and fun to read. The pictures are very cute, and the instructions/directions on how to make the various food items was enjoyable to read.
富士山行きましょう！富士山で、登ったり、温泉に入ったり、綺麗な湖を見たりします。また、富士山の誕生日があります。この本はたくさん助言がありますから、とても便利です。本の中で環境保護がありますので、この本が好きです。この本はたくさん漢字から、ちょっと難しです。しかし、漢字は所の名前ですので、重要なじゃないです。この本を読んでください。富士山に登ったことがありません。でも、留学の時、富士山に登りたい！
Let’s go to Mount Fuji! At Mount Fuji, you can hike, go to hot springs, look at the beautiful lakes, and other activities similar to these. It also talks about Mount Fuji’s “birthday.” This book also offers a lot of advice, which is extremely convenient if you plan to go there. In the book, it also talks about environmental protection, which is why I really like it. The book has a lot of kanji, so it can be a little bit difficult to read. But the kanji is mostly the names of places, so it doesn’t really affect the meaning of the book. I highly recommend this book. I have never hiked Mount Fuji, but I would like to when I’m studying abroad!
この本は色々な東京の着物のスタイルを紹介します。毎ページでは、特別な服を着ている人の写真だけしでなくて、この人に出会った話とこの人の着物のについて英語と日本語で書いた紹介もあります。本の中で、和服とか洋服などはたいていきれいですが、分からないアウトフィートもあります。それで、この本を読んだ後、特別な着物は似合わないことがよくあると思います。
I find this book really interesting because it introduces the fashionable outfits in Tokyo and also talks about the stories of the people who wear these outfits. While reading the stories, I find that it’s obvious that an outfit is reflecting a person’s personality and occupation. Although the Japanese expressions are advanced in this book, the book is still really interesting to read since you have the photos and you can read their story in context.
古事記は日本の昔から話です。神話なので、たくさん神様がいます。古い話ですから、とても変ですが、とても面白いと思います。この本の中で、「日本の国の始まり」や「死の国」や他の話があります。天照は私の一番好きな古事記のキャラクターです。天照は太陽の神様だけでなく、天照は日本の神話によって日本の天皇の祖先で信じられています。時々古事記は他の国の神話みたいです。時々古事記は他の国の神話と比べて、とても違います。そして、古事記はとても面白いです。日本と他の国の神話やれきしや文化が好きな人達は古事記をよんだほうがいいと思います。
I recommend this book to anyone who likes learning about the mythology, history and culture of Japan or any other countries. It is not very hard to read, even though sometimes the stories can be very strange because they are so old, so that is a little confusing. However, the pictures help a lot and the stories are really interesting. Please read this excerpted version of the Kojiki to learn more about the mythology of Japan!
とてもきれいな本ですね！この本の中の絵は色がたくさんあって、とても美しいです。文がとても短くて、漢字があまりありません。とても簡単な本ですが、速く読んで、楽しい話だと思ういます。
This was a simple, fun, beautiful, easy read. I would definitely recommend it. The pictures were pretty, especially in their use of color. The writing itself was very simple and easy to understand, and there wasn’t much in the way of kanji, difficult grammar or unfamiliar words.
この本はとてもおもしろいです。着物のれきしがすきです。着物を着る方法はすごく有用です。絵はとてもきれいですよ。
I would recommend this book. It has some really interesting history about kimonos, instructions for wearing a kimono, and talks about several occasions on which kimonos are most often worn in modern Japanese culture. If you are interested in Japanese culture or clothing, you might like this book. It was very easy to read and contained many of the vocabulary words from the textbook, though the names of the eras tripped me up at first. Definitely good for a beginner.

この本をみって、寿司をたべたいです。寿司の食べ方や作り方があります。寿司の歴史もあります。色々絵画と魚の写真もあります。とても面白いと思います。
I really like this book because it introduced Sushi in every dimension. Sushi’s history, how to make sushi and different kinds of sushi are all demonstrated here. There are a lot of pretty illustrations and drawings of sushi. I highly recommend reading this book with a full stomach otherwise you would become really hungry by craving all kinds of sushi.

桜は綺麗ですね。この本を読んだから、日本にいくつもりです。日本でおはなみをしたり、友達とお酒を飲んだり、歌を歌ったりしたいです。桜の前で、写真を撮りたいです。日本に住んでいるのが大好きです。
I learnt about お花見 this activity. It sounds so amazing. I really want to go to Japan in spring and enjoy the beautiful natural scene. This book is easy to read and I recommend to people who want to learn about Sakura which tokens part of Japanese culture.
