For Japanese Beginners Free E-books to develop skills?
December 2nd, 2010 by admin
I need level-1 e-books (like 5 paged funny children stories) in Japanese… But NOT romanji!!!.. I am learning Japanese. and for me one of the best way to expert in a language is to read. But my level is so beginner that i can’t read any magazine or something upper level. I want something to read very simple level, I also prefer including some beginner level Kanji inside. Can I find it on web? I tried hard, but couldn’t find. Really need help.. Thanks A lot..

I don’t imagine you will find many (or any) free E-books for beginning Japanese. I would recommend going to your local library where you can check out Japanese language books for free and hopefully there will be a large enough selection to find something you like. I wouldn’t recommend Japanese children stories; the majority are not as easy to read as you might think. Some children’s stories use "kiddy" words you may not find in your dictionary and grammar or slang that might be difficult to decipher.
There are increasingly more websites on the internet to help learn Japanese, but getting a book from your library might be a better route to take. If you are looking to buy some books I would recommend the Genki textbooks ( http://www.genki-online.com/ ); you can find some samples there as well.
Good luck!

Where do you live? Here in California we have a store called Mitsuwa. Its a japanese grocery store and they have a book store inside, and they have childrens books. I also like to practice my japanase reading by roaming around the store too. Plus alot of Japanese people shop there so you can listen to some native japanese speakers. If you are looking for suggestions on a japanese book I always loved the peach boy book that my mom used to read to me. It was about a boy who was born in a peach or something like that haha. (I have lost the ability to speak fluent japanese since my mom likes to speak in english now, well she speaks more in a japan-glish way).
Try Pera Pera Penguin from the Daily Yomiuri. It’s a conversation class for beginners in Japanese.
