Book Review: A Good Way to Learn Japanese -- for Intermediate Students
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're a native English speaker trying to learn Japanese, this book may be a good learning tool for you. Almost all of the kanji have furigana -- this book is intended for children, after all. The translation is incredibly true to the original English book, so you can refer to the original any time you have trouble following. Of course, you'll end up learning words like "witch" and "wand" and "spell," which are of little value in daily life, but what the heck. One word of warning, though -- you'll need to equivalent of about two years of college Japanese before it makes sense to try reading this book.
FYI, this is a high quality hard cover book. It weighs quite a bit. The price in Japan is 1,900 yen. Expect to pay more outside of Japan, of course. You might try Amazan.jp, but last I checked it is no cheaper once you figure in delivery.
