Japanese Tadoku Books by Students
Smith College Tadoku Project
I am a first year Japanese student!
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。でも、文はとてもみじかくて、かんたんで、私は難しい文がほしいでした。
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 story itself was light and funny. Give it a whirl!
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 very enjoyable, though very easy, book. 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. I’d recommend it.
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!

とてもいい本でしたよ！私は早く読んで、わらいました。私はこの本を読んでよかったです。でも、文はとてもみじかくて、ふりがなの漢字がたくさんありませんから、むずかしくないです。
I enjoyed this book, though it was a bit too easy. The story way fun and lighthearted and funny, but the sentences were very short and simple. There was still quite a bit of kanji though!
この本は面白いかったと思います。私は早く読んで、えかおしました。文はとてもみじかくなくて、かんたんじゃなくて、ちょっと難しくて、楽しかったです。漢字と新しい単語がたくさなりました！
I would recommend this book. The story was light, silly, a bit unrealistic, but overall enjoyable. The sentences were a good length, and there were quite a few new vocabulary words that are easy enough to figure out from context if you don’t want to look them up. Give it a shot!
この本はとても面白いと思います！ちょっと長くて、難しじゃないです。ジョンさんは女の人に飛行機で会ったから、とてもロマンチックですよ。歌舞伎座のストーリーも楽しかったです。
This is a fun story about John and his new female friend who met him in airplane. They became friends because of a coincidence, and they went to a Kabuki theatre but encountered another accident. It’s very funny. I recommend this book.

子供の時、これ物語を読みました。でも、今、読んだの時、ちょっとつまらなかったと思いました。桜のほうが風と太陽より面白いと思いますね。
I have read this book before, however, this time I don’t find it interesting anymore. But this is a book that easy to read.
