New to the sub? Read the Wiki! However, they do have the stories printed twice in the book, once with the key words and once in all Japanese. I don’t own these books, but at first glance I’m not so keen on the illustrations or format of the Japan Shop’s books, with romaji and English filling half the page. They have a deal through their website where you can buy a bundle of 11 readers for $35. The major advantage of these books over the others is that they’re available on kindle . You can watch this video to get a better idea of what’s in the books.
They’re called 「にほんごで よむ 仙台・宮城」and are available through Bonjisha here in Japan, but I very much doubt these can be bought internationally, they’re not even on Japanese Amazon.įinally I’ve found one more producer of Japanese Readers for beginners from the Japan Shop: Yesterday I also found these readers about Miyagi and the Tohoku area, I was excited to find some more and ones that deal with non fiction, so I ordered them.

#JAPANESE GRADED READERS LEVEL 1 REDDIT SERIES#
This series is called 「にほんご多読ブクス」and the design is obviously different. There are 37 of these books available in print, though far fewer have been converted to app form as yet.Īlthough they use the same level grading system as the 「レベル別日本語多読ライブラリー」, this series has one level 5 book, which is a higher level than anything yet published by ‘Ask’ in the 「レベル別日本語多読ライブラリー」series shown above. What I didn’t realise is that these books can be bought in physical format and that they are an entirely different series to the レベル別日本語多読ライブラリー」pictured above. I don’t know how available many are outside of Japan, but inside Japan you can certainly get your hands on a few different sets.Īt least one of this series (top left 「一房のぶどう」 is on sale as an ebook app for ipad through White Rabbit here, I know because I read it this week.

I can read よつばと！ but there are 12 volumes and I have already read 6 in the last fortnight, I’m not going to magically graduate to reading Haruki Murakami after I run out of the joy that is reading よつばと! This made me wonder what was next.Īs this blogger says on her blog, which incidentally has an excellent list of online material for extensive reading:īecause the vocabulary here is still controlled at 1,300 words, it is absolutely not the same as reading a real novel intended for adults or older children, who have full control over thousands of words if you started your tadoku journey here as an intermediate student, then expected to go on to authentic books that used similar amounts of kanji and small text and read those just as quickly and easily, you might be in for a rude awakening. I needed to read something that wasn’t about some kind of vegetable or charismatic megafauna having an irksome afternoon.Īnd yet I cannot read ‘real’ books yet. I tried this series and will return to it, but after 20m of reading a 12 page story about motherfucking beans, which I neither fully understood, nor had the slightest interest in, I simply couldn’t stand any more. Once you finish the higher levels, what do you do next? Some people might be ready to move onto Japanese childrens books like 10分で読めるお語, also available from White Rabbit. They are wonderful and I’ve read loads of them, working my way up through the grades, as I finish each one.
They look like this:Īnd you can buy them here and quite a few other places. Most upper beginner to intermediate level learners have heard of the excellent Japanese Graded Reader series 「レベル別日本語多読ライブラリー」(That’s レベル べつ にほんご たどく ライブラリー」 for those needing to type it.
