Review: Excellent resource for Japanese learners - Brill for beginners to help understand sentence format and simple grammar. The stories are in both Japanese and English. There are cute illustrations throughout the book. I would recommend this for beginners once they have learned hiragana and katakana, there is some kanji with furigana above so it is still legible without any prior kanji knowledge.
Review: Must have for beginners after they have their basics down - Very beginner friendly, arrived fast. I just ordered the rest of the series!

Very beginner friendly, arrived fast. I just ordered the rest of the series!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Świetna książka dla początkujących !
*by J***A on 13 November 2023*

Bardzo podobają mi się te książki do ćwiczenia czytania prostych zdań po japońsku. Te oznaczone Level 1 mają też więcej ilustracji, żeby móc lepiej zobrazować sytuację czy zaprosić czytelnika do interpretacji kanji nawet bez uprzedniej ich znajomości. Oczywiście trzeba znać przynajmniej hiraganę żeby móc czytać te opowieści. Dla mnie było też bardzo pomocne przestudiowanie partykuł i konstrukcji zdania, ale oczywiście nie jest to konieczne, gdyż czytanie właśnie takich opowieści ma nam to przybliżyć. Obecnie mam dwie książki z tej serii (druga to Level 2) i pewnie zakupię kolejne. Zdecydowanie polecam początkującym.
