木村家の毎日「ただいま」

私わこの本が大好きです！面白いですから。I really like this book, because it is interesting. The warm story is about this small family celebrating the mother’s birthday. The other members in the family prepared a surprise for the mother.

I recommend it to other 1st year Japanese students. There were vocabularies I didn’t recognize, but it was not difficult to guess the meaning of them based on the context and the pictures. It did help me to learn some new words and gave me a sense of how conversation is presented in Japanese written text.

木村家の毎日「一郎、学校で　（一ろう、がっこうで）」

この本は　おもしろいです！かわいいです。ちょっと　むずかしいです。この本が　すきです。

Don’t be scared of the kanji in the title—this is a fun book to read! There are a lot of characters that fellow first-years probably won’t recognize, but there’s furigana, so, it’s not a problem. Additionally, there’s some phrases that are used that will seem a little odd / unfamiliar, but I think that’s just the difference from the kind of Japanese you’d read regularly to the sort you’d read in a textbook. Altogether, though, even if you don’t know every word, you’ll still get a good sense of what’s going on in the story and find it funny and cute. It’s definitely an enjoyable read. Give it a try!

ウサギとカメ

 

この本はとてもかわいいです。ウサギとカメはおもしろいです。むずかしくないです。やさしいです。

This book is great for JPN 110 students. Some vocabulary is unfamiliar, but the story of the turtle and the hare may be familiar enough that one understands the context very well. It’s not too dense, and includes cute onomatopoeia words. At the end of the book, there’s even a little sing-along. Some grammar structures are familiar from class, so it’s good practice as well.

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.

桜

さくらは私のお気に入りの花です。 だから、私はこの本を読んでみたいです。 私は春にこの本を読んだ。

This book talks about cherry blossoms in Japan, and the activities during that time. I liked the art style of the book and though it was nice to read. The kanji was had for me but it was worth it to learn more about cherry blossoms. I would recommend the book for students to read in the spring under a cherry blossom tree.

level 0, vol 1, sakura

この本は桜についてです。すきです。前に先生は桜についてを話しました。本によると沖縄にひとつめ桜が咲いて、北海道にさいごに桜が咲きます。また習ってよかったです。ずがはとてもきれいでした。六ページと七ページがいちばんとてもきれいだと思います。

I liked this book, it was about how Cherry Blossoms grow in Japan. It was interesting to read about it since I had seen it on t.v. once. It gave information of which parts of Japan the Cherry Blossoms start to bloom fist according to the months. The drawings were very pretty, I would recommend this to anyone it was overall easy to read and informational.

西町交番の良さん「にわにわに？」

この本はとても簡単ですよ！単語と漢字は簡単ですから、あなたは辞書が必要しません。私は「にわにわに？」のほうが「笑い話」面白いと思います。その物語が違うと思いました。私は女の人が猫をなくしました。絵が好きです。可愛いですよ！読んでくさい！

This book is extremely easy! Because the vocabulary and kanji was easy to read, you won’t need a dictionary. I thought 「にわにわに？」was funnier than 「笑い話」. I didn’t expect the story to be this way. I thought that the woman lost her cat or something. I also enjoy the artwork. I recommend this book!

大豆

 

この本はおもしろいです。私はたくさん大豆についてしりませんでした。どこで大豆は来るから習いました。ずがはいいでした。たくさん食べ物のずががありました。やさいについてを読みたかったらこの本はいいです。

This was a very informational book about soybeans. It goes into detail of where this is found in food products and what dishes they are found in. There were drawn picture examples of people eating the dishes and actual pictures of the food products made out of soybeans. This was easy to read and informational, the kanji wasn’t too hard, some of the captions on the picture have kanji we haven’t learned yet, but the rest was easy.

このストーリーはとてもいいです。りょうさんはすごいおまわりさんです。りょうさんはみなさんをてつだうんです。ワニがいました。さいごのパートーはちょとたのしでした。

Yes, I would recommend this book, the kanji is very easy to read. It’s about a policeman named Ryo-san. He is very helpful and in this story he helps out a lady. He helps in dealing with an alligator.

木村家の毎日『お正月』

 

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!
