Japanese Tadoku Books by Students
Smith College Tadoku Project
I will recommend this book or story to 1st-year Japanese students.
この
I would highly recommend this book to other Japanese 110-111 students because it uses grammar that they would know, and it also uses kanji that they should have already learned. The drawings are very simple, neat, and nice to look at. I definitely like the use of simple phrases like いただきます as well.に
この本はおもしろいてしゃしんはきれいです。It makes me looking forward to watching Sakura next year. And it’s interesting to know that Sakura blossoms at different times because of the difference in location.
I recommend this book for First Year Japanese students. It’s easy to read and brings beautiful expectations for spring in cold winter.
This book talks about a lot of traditions in Japan’s new year. There are a lot of new words to learn! This book helps students to understand more about Japanese culture by watching a lot of pictures. We can know the content even we do not know about words because of pictures provided. Very interesting book for people to read.
I would definitely recommend this book to other people wanting to find on-level readings! The drawings in this book were really beautiful, and I loved the small details that the author included like the captions on the Polaroid pictures and how Hoshiko’s name was written in the stars! I hope to see more books like this!
この本はとてもおもしろいです。わたし今東京の電車がよくしっています。この本のpictures はかわいいですね。
I recommend this book to 日本語一年生. It does brief introduction to the city subway system, and shows lots of lively situations in the train, like how do passengers look differently in the morning, at noon, and at night. It’s a book easy to read and enjoy.
京子のはつこいはラーブの本です。ときどき新しいかんじがあります。でも、ふりがながあります。
I recommend this book because it was a nice story. It made me want to continue reading and find out what happens.
リニダのりょこうは楽しいです。かわいです。この本がすきです。
It was a book about a giraffe who was looking for friends. It took me awhile to get through. The vocab was mostly genki vocab, which was nice. So I didn’t have to look up a bunch of words.
I recommend this book. It was fun to read and not too hard.
ジョンさんは 夏休み仙台に森さんの家族とホームステイをしに行きました。They celebrated 七夕 together, which 仙台 celebrates in August instead of July.
この本は 面白くて、日本の文化があるので、とてもすいせんします。ジョンさんと森さんの子供のインタラクションはとてもかわいです。John also made a lot of silly mistakes that were so funny to read about. でも、ちょっと難しいから、JPN 111 まで 待ったほうがいいですよ。 私も 大きい犬のぬいぐるみがほしいですね。
This book is very cute, especially because I like animals. The plot is also a little weird. It is like a children’s story: it is best to not think about the realism of the plot too much. The art is very cute.
I recommend people to read this book. It is not hard. It is a very pleasant read. However, it is not realistic, and the book is not really trying to teach anything.
ジョンさんはバスに乗っています。彼はあそこでおばあさんと一緒に話しました。あとで、バスの中でジョンさんはねむ。だから、クラスに遅れます。おもしろいですね。
John rides the bus everyday. One day, he meets an old lady who sees his fashionably ripped jeans and expresses comical pity for him, unaware that the distressed look is intentional. Another day, John falls asleep in the bus and misses his stop. As a result, he arrives late to school.
