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.

Are you currently learning the Japanese language and struggling to find some good material? This book was written with the sole purpose of filling the gap in engaging Japanese material for native English speakers learning the language Did you know that stories are a fantastic way to learn a language?

Not only that but what is better than a fun and captivating story? Without a doubt, this is the most fun way to learn a language.

Whether fiction or not learning vocabulary through stories is a proven concept that has stood the test of time. This book has seven Japanese stories. Each story has an interesting and engaging storyline that allows you to understand the Japanese culture better. Each story is also translated into English and has a vocabulary list that has been put into a nice table. This has been done to help you to memorise the vocabulary from each story. So, what are you waiting for? Pick up your copy of Japanese short stories for language learners and level up your Japanese language skills now!

As the title suggests, this book is a collection of short stories and essays for Japanese language learners. In creating this book, I have tried to cover as many different genres of topics as possible. Also, since there are already many reading materials and Japanese language learning materials based on folktales, this book covers contemporary and everyday topics. I have tried to include short stories that are as interesting, surprising, funny, emotional, or educational as possible. In addition, I have included small illustrations to help the reader visualize the story. You can start from the beginning and read in order, or you can start with a title or topic that interests you. I hope you will enjoy reading this book. The basic structure of each chapter is as follows ・Sentences with furigana（reading aid） ・Sentences with English translations ・Vocabulary list ・Original Japanese text（without reading aid） ・Questions and answers You can use this book in any way you like, but I recommend that you first read the sentences with the furigana and check the story in your own way. For words you don't know, check the vocabulary list and read to the end first. After that, it is a good idea to check the English translation, including all the details. In addition, this book includes the original Japanese text without furigana, so if you are interested, you can try this as well. At the end of each chapter, there are some simple questions to check your understanding.
