ジョンさん日本へ

この本はとてもきれいです。アートスタイルがだいすきです。でもジョンさんは、ゆきさんがすきですか。ゆきさんも、ジョンさんが好きですか。次のチャプターはどこですか。John meets Yuki while taking an airplane to Tokyo because they had the same manga. When they said goodbye to each other, they realized they accidentally switched their mangas between themselves. Three months later, they went to see a Kabuki dance together, but later realize they accidentally got the wrong date.

This book is, in my opinion, easier to read than 笠地蔵 because most of the kanjis are words we already learned, and many of the kanjis that people might not recognize are words we already learned, just not in kanji but in hiragana. I will recommend this book to the first-year Japanese students.

たしろじま

田代島

This book talks about the cats that live in the Japanese city of Tashirojima. The illustrations are well done and the content is both interesting and easy to understand. むずかじゃないです!

I would recommend to level 0 readers and first year Japanese students because the vocabulary is fairly simple and the sentence structure is simple as well which makes it accessible to new Japanese-language learners.

冬 のさんぽ

話はかわいいです。本はとてもおもしろてやさしいです。芸術はきれいです。きれいです。

I was drawn to this book by the gorgeous art. There were some words that I didn’t know but they were definitely understandable through context. The story was cute and simple. I would recommend this book to Japanese 110 students.

一郎、学校で

一郎と京子はかわいいですょ。一郎と京子が好きだと思います。

The book was short and, since I already knew some stuff about school in Japan, I didn’t learn anything new. It’s a good quick read perfect for level 0 and a good book to start the semester.
