Beautifully illustrated in a traditional style, \u003ci\u003eJapanese Stories for Language Learners \u003c\/i\u003eoffers five compelling stories with Japanese and English language versions appearing on facing pages. Taking learners on an exciting cultural and linguistic journey, each story is followed by detailed translator's notes, vocabulary lists, and grammar points along with a set of discussion questions and exercises. The first two are very famous traditional folktales: \u003ci\u003eUrashima Taro (Tale of a Fisherman) \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eYuki Onna (The Snow Woman)\u003c\/i\u003e. These are followed by three short stories by notable 20th century authors: \u003ci\u003eKumo no Ito (The Spider's Thread) \u003c\/i\u003eby Akutagawa Ryunosuke (1892-1927), \u003ci\u003eOborekaketa Kyodai (The Siblings Who Almost Drowned) \u003c\/i\u003eby Arishima Takeo (1878-1923), and \u003ci\u003eSerohiki no Goshu (Gauche the Cellist) \u003c\/i\u003eby Miyazawa Kenji (1896-1933). The latter stories are unabridged and unedited except for the addition of furigana pronunciations above the kanji characters. Reading these stories in the original Japanese-and hearing native-speakers read them aloud in the accompanying free audio recording-helps students at every level deepen their comprehension of the beauty and subtlety of the Japanese language.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46875657633950,"sku":"ADS-9784805314685","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9784805314685.jpg?v=1779754991","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9784805314685","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
