Many students are searching for a native speaking educator or signing up in standard language courses. Of course, the best way to learn Japanese would be to spend extended time in Japan. However, there are cheaper options; some students like audio-learning or listening to Japanese radio programs, others are checking out interesting publications as well as traditional workbooks. This book contains entertaining stories written in Japanese, with a corresponding translation of each sentence to the English language. We have included a variety of genres: travel, suspense and mystery, using true storytelling and fascinating aspects of daily life in Japan.
Introduction and a short history of the language
Japanese is a sophisticated language and is different from European as well as American languages, so allow us to offer you a brief background and introduction of the Japanese language.
The earliest remaining Japanese texts date back to the eighth century AD. Its origins depend on the Altaic language family. The Japanese of this duration is referred to as Old Japanese. A distinct function of Old Japanese was that it had 8 vowels and did not differentiate between long and short vowels.ce its onset, Japanese has actually been affected by several languages. Perhaps the most substantial borrowing in Japanese has actually been done from Chinese. In the third or fourth century AD, most of Japan had adopted the Chinese writing. Therefore large parts of ancient Japanese can be traced back to the Chinese language system. Modern Japanese culture, as well as the Japanese language, is a mixture of various foreign and traditional influences.
There are three kinds of character types used in writing: Hiragana (a phonetic system); Katakana (a phonetic system used mostly for foreign words); and Kanji (unique symbols with their own meaning and adopted from the Chinese).
Discover one of the most fascinating languages and its culture
The stories in this book are written in Hiragana, Katakana, and about 250 basic Kanji characters which correspond to the beginner and low intermediate learner. As mentioned before, we have also included line-by-line English translation, which will accelerate the learning process quite a bit.
A word about the so-called Kanji characters. Japanese consists of three different character sets. Some people say, "the Japanese language is difficult". One of the reasons might be the kanji, however, the Kanji can be written in Kana characters.
In this book Kanji characters have Furigana. Furigana (振り仮名 ) is a Japanese reading aid and their translation to English is listed in vocabulary section after each story. As you can see, Japanese is indeed a challenging language, but while you advance with your skills you might be surprised to find out how many English words have been adopted and used as Katakana words. Sometimes they don’t even sound like English anymore. For example (アップル) Apple, (テーブル)Table, (ウォーター)Water.
This book covers both the formal and the casual style used in the Japanese language, dialogues in both styles of masculine and feminine, abbreviations, and well-known Japanese onomatopoeia. In addition to expanding your Japanese vocabulary, by reading this book you will find that Japanese language and customs differ depending on gender, time, background, generations, social environment, and individual circumstances.
