Description
No matter what your proficiency level, you can start reading Japanese today with this four-level, multi-volume reader series. Learners will experience Japanese culture, practice reading and listening skills, and expand their grammar knowledge—all while having fun! Each volume is a box set of five, beautifully-illustrated stories of a proficiency-appropriate length and vocabulary. Topics range from traditional Japanese folktales and fables to modern adventures and more. Grammar points and furigana (small kana written beside kanji to show the pronunciation) accompany the text.
