A great story can lead a reader on a journey of
discovery--especially if it's presented in two languages!
Beautifully illustrated in a traditional style, Japanese Stories
for Language Learners offers five compelling stories with English
and Japanese language versions appearing on facing pages. Taking
learners on an exciting cultural and linguistic journey, each story
is followed by detailed translator's notes, Japanese vocabulary
lists, and grammar points along with a set of discussion questions
and exercises. The first two stories are very famous traditional
Japanese folktales: Urashima Taro (Tale of a Fisherman) and Yuki
Onna (The Snow Woman). These are followed by three short stories by
notable 20th century authors: Kumo no Ito (The Spider's Thread) by
Akutagawa Ryunosuke (1892-1927) Oborekaketa Kyodai (The Siblings
Who Almost Drowned) by Arishima Takeo (1878-1923) Serohiki no Goshu
(Gauche the Cellist) by Miyazawa Kenji (1896-1933) Reading these
stories in the original Japanese script--and hearing
native-speakers read them aloud in the accompanying free audio
recording--helps students at every level deepen their comprehension
of the beauty and subtlety of the Japanese language. Learn Japanese
the fun way--through the country's rich literary history. All audio
is accessible on tuttlepublishing.com/downloadable-content.
