Publisher's Synopsis
First words in Japanese is a simple introduction to 41 essential words!
With 10 categories of fun topics like Fruit, Clothes, Weather, Pets and more it's a perfect way to introduce your child to their first Japanese words. Each category consists of 4 to 5 vocabulary so it's not overwhelming and stays engaging. Original illustrations are kawaii and colorful to capture the imagination! Words are written in hiragana or katakana with the romaji pronunciation underneath. This allows young learners to have exposure to recognizing letters and reading Japanese. Questions throughout the book make this a more interactive experience between parents and children. The format is written in the way we learn languages. Using English to ask questions and emphasizing the Japanese vocabulary makes this an easy transition in learning. For example: "How's the てんき/tenki today?" on the weather page will allow children to talk about the てんき tenki (weather) that day and practice using their answer in Japanese. Today is はれ/hare they may say! Perfect for babies, toddlers and school age children alike!
