Japanese Tadoku Books by Students
Smith College Tadoku Project
この本は日本の桜の文化と日本の地理を紹介しています。とても面白くで優しです。本の絵はいいです。私は桜が大好きです！
I highly recommend this book to Japanese first semester students. It introduces both the sakura culture and Japanese geography. There are a lot of interesting details like お花見 and that Japan is divided into 沖縄，九州，四国，本州，and 北海道. Vocabularies and kanjis in this book are very easy, and the book is a good practice for beginners.
京子のはつこいはラーブの本です。ときどき新しいかんじがあります。でも、ふりがながあります。
I recommend this book because it was a nice story. It made me want to continue reading and find out what happens.
リニダのりょこうは楽しいです。かわいです。この本がすきです。
It was a book about a giraffe who was looking for friends. It took me awhile to get through. The vocab was mostly genki vocab, which was nice. So I didn’t have to look up a bunch of words.
I recommend this book. It was fun to read and not too hard.
This book is very cute, especially because I like animals. The plot is also a little weird. It is like a children’s story: it is best to not think about the realism of the plot too much. The art is very cute.
I recommend people to read this book. It is not hard. It is a very pleasant read. However, it is not realistic, and the book is not really trying to teach anything.
私は大ずをきょうみがあるので本はちょっとつまらないです。かんじやたん語はかんたんです。
While I personally found this book a little boring I would recommend it to someone that was interested in cooking or Japanese dishes. The book’s visuals made it easy to follow along.
Would recommend to first years.
この本は ラーさんのせいかつについて 書きました。ラーさんは友だちがありませんが、暇じゃないです。毎日音がきを聞きますから。本の中で、たくさんえがあります。とてもかわいいです。ちょっとむずかしいたんごがありますが、ストーリはかんたんです。
The book has lots of Katakana, most of which are the name of songs and singers. So I think it is good path to practice Katakana through reading. The drawings are really interesting and creative. Really recommend this book. ロイ-音楽が好きです
この本は大豆について紹介して 面白いと思います。日本人は大豆にたくさん食べ物を作ります。そして、as it is used in many cultural practices, I get to know more about Japanese traditional culture. 本の中で いろいろ食べ物の写真があったから、読むのが難しくないと思います。
いい漢字の練習です。日本語一年生は読んだほうがいいと思います。
This book is really interesting that the girl in the story meets herself! I love this story. I also love the elaborated drawings of the book.
I really recommend this book to JPN 110 and 111 students to read this. There exists some new kanjis but I believe students can understand them according to the context. This book also helps to get familiar with some kanjis.
この本は日本の旅行をしょうについて書きます。おもしろくて、いろいろなしゃしんを見ました。私は日本が大好きっだから、きれいなしゃしんを見て、ぶんかをならって、たのしかったです。ぶんぽは簡単ですが、かんじがたくさんあったから、ちょっとむずかしいですね。
I really enjoyed reading this book, because the photos are all very beautiful and I love Japanese scenery and food. I also got to learn some cultural features of Japan. Because it’s a level 0 book, the grammar are very easy, but I find it hard to understand all the kanjis, especially the names of the places mentioned. Overall, I recommend it to 日本語一年生 and people who are good at kanji.
この本はおもしろいと思います。エミさんとニナさんゆかたを買 ってお ぼんおどりに行きました。かんじとたん語がかんたんです。I really loved the art style, its simple and cute. There were a couple of words that I could not recognize but its still understandable through context. There were also some unfamiliar kanji but they were accompanied by the hiragana. Overall, I highly recommend to level 0 readers.
