Synopsis
This is a fun and entertaining beginner level children's Japanese language book (9 years old and up) that is also appropriate for adults. I'm Learning Japanese! takes a lighthearted approach to the Japanese language by using fun anime-style manga characters to teach Japanese. The book starts out with the main characters, Emily, Nico and Teo sitting on the grass after school, minding their own business, when--unbelievable!--a giant talking fox dressed in a kimono appears. Explaining that he knows magic, speaks many languages and is respected as a sensei master, he wonders if the three kids are ready to learn Japanese from him. During the next 128 amusing pages, the three friends learn to speak, read and write Japanese, while also taking breaks to try Japanese hot-spring baths, sumo wrestling, Zen meditation and more. Focusing on exactly what the 9 to 14-year-old learner wants to know, this book is carefully set up to allow them to learn Japanese independently, at their own speed, without an adult's help. Though fun and lighthearted, this book is incredibly practical as well. An excellent learning resource whether you're 5 or 50! By the end, students will master reading and writing the entire Hiragana alphabet, Japanese sentence structure and 23 key Kanji characters., Age range 9 to 14 Follow along as Emily, Nico and Teo, while sitting on the grass after school, minding their own business, come across a giant talking fox dressed in a kimono.

    Excellent transaction. Fast delivery. But, the Seller needs to use better packaging for shipping. The thin poly-mailer, that he used, had multiple holes in it by the time the parcel arrived on my doorstep. Fortunately, the book was not damaged. Very good price. The book is in "very good" to "like new" condition. i am very happy that the book's appearance exactly matches the Seller's description in his listing. Would buy from this Seller again! ...Thank you!!
