Struggling to sound natural in Japanese? Looking for a Japanese "text"book that's as fun as it is educational? Learn how to use ninety-nine essential Japanese onomatopoeic sound words with this book and the included Anki flashcard deck and sound files. Japanese has many words that symbolize sounds (onomatopoeia) or soundless actions or feelings (mimetic words). There are two main types of these words: 擬音語 giongo-onomatopoeia [a word that imitates a sound.]擬態語 gitaigo-ideophones or mimetic word [a word that mimics something that doesn't make a sound.]We have this in English too. Think of the 1960s' Batman TV series. Bang! POW! Boom! Or the sounds animals make but really aren't very representative. Bow-wow. Chirp. Cluck cluck. These are all English examples of giongo. What about gitaigo? We don't use words that mimic non-sounds too much, but there are a few in English: twinkle twinkle, glimmer, and willy-nilly. Each of the ninety-nine entries begins with the target word itself and several English definitions. This is followed by a single example sentence showing usage. At the bottom of the page are some notes either about the word itself or the example sentence. We are also including, for no extra charge, an Anki flashcard deck of all the words. Find the download link on the last page of the book.Covers 99 key Japanese onomatopoeiaIncludes example sentences with each sound wordDownload sound files AND an Anki flashcard deck for no extra chargeSound files include both the sound word and its example sentenceThe Anki flashcard deck includes the sound file tooReady to get started?

Unlike normal yamabushi, however, tengu have unnaturally long noses, carry a scroll called "tora no maki," and have magical powers. They say, the tengu even taught ninjas their legendary skills! FEATURESIncludes three essays or storiesEach story is presented in three formats: 1) Sentence-by-Sentence with definition and commentary below 2) Japanese only (to test your reading ability) 3) English translation (to confirm your understanding)The Sentence-by Sentence section of each story presents a small chunk of the Japanese with furigana over the kanji and a complete glossary of all the words; important grammatical patterns are pointed out and explained in plain EnglishFind a link to download sound files for the stories (for no extra charge) on the last page of the bookEach story has a slow and normal speed recording of the Japanese read by Yumi STORIES INCLUDED ① About the Tengu ② Origin of the Tengu ③ Tengu Stories WHO IS THIS FOR?This book is designed so that both those fairly new to Japanese and those in the intermediate stages can equally find value.

Have you only recently learned hiragana but need practice? You've found the right book. Or perhaps, hiragana is no problem, but you want to build your hiragana and kanji reading comprehension? Ditto. If you are a beginner to upper beginner of Japanese, this new collection of stories is here to the rescue! Read real Japanese-beginner level but not boring Japanese! You won't find the Japanese version of Dick and Jane, but you will find stories written for adults. Enjoy reading flash fiction, super short essays, and funny stories of common mistakes made by learners of Japanese. Best of all, the only requirement is that you can read hiragana and have a very basic understanding of Japanese. Vocabulary and grammar will be defined and explained.Download free sound files of the stories read both slowly and at normal speed (link found on the last page)Every beginner-level story is presented in three ways: hiragana only (with spaces), Japanese with furigana, and full Japanese without furiganaOn each page, you'll find a complete glossary of the words with grammar and sentence structure explainedFor beginners (who have learned or are learning hiragana)The format is a little different from our other more advanced readers. The idea is for the reader to read the entire story three times. Each page will have a sentence or two in hiragana (with spaces between words for you to see "words" instead of syllables) at the top and that same content in full Japanese (with furigana-small hiragana over kanji) at the bottom. The middle will have the glossary and grammatical explanations. Lastly, the story is presented in Japanese without furigana. See if you can read it after going through the previous two versions and explanations. If you have just learned hiragana, you may want to listen to the sound file while reading the top hiragana section to practice correct pronunciation. If you have studied Japanese a bit longer, you may want to start with the bottom version and take note of the glossary for understanding. The glossary will have the word as it appears in the story, but it will also give the "dictionary" form so you can look the word up further. Stories included in this volume: 日本のトイレ JAPANESE TOILETS押し入れ THE CLOSETいい年II TOSHI胡坐 STILLING CROSS-LEGGED休み DAY OFFおじぎ BOWING電車 JAPANESE TRAINS日本の田舎 COUNTRYSIDE IN JAPAN日本の犬 JAPANESE DOGSタコ焼き TAKOYAKIHaving fun while learning a language is a great way to increase motivation.
