JAPANESE STORIES FOR LANGUAGE LEARNERS

Japanese Stories for Language Learners is an excellent resource. Though it's a little advanced for me at present, with the help of the notes and English text, I can slowly read the stories. Meanwhile, the accompanying CD lets you hear them being read, aiding with aural comprehension and pronunciation. I plan to go through this book once now but then return to it again once my studies advance, so I can attempt to read more without help from the English translation and notes.

Excellent book for trying to learn to read hiragana, also this increases japanese vocabulary a great deal, one also becomes familiar with a lot of kanji as well, good book , great author , ありがとうございます

Best for reading practice

I love the book but there are only 5 storyI want to read more stories to better my language knowledge .Best part of this book is that it gives example of sentence of word that little difficult to understand and if there is repetition of kanji then skipped the furigana that kind of renforce you to remember kanji reading
