Foreword

Thank you for buying this book! It indicates that you are prepared to engage with Japanese in brand-new and different ways. You possibly might also have a taste for good short stories. Reading Japanese short stories is an excellent method of studying the language, it's far more convenient and interesting compared to the conventional path of drilling vocabulary and struggling with grammar workouts at an out-of-date school. Instead, you will get a new approach, that does not rely upon outdated learning strategies and endless repetitions. The method of learning through reading stories will produce results in a short time and provide you with cultural insights along with language skills. If you are striving for more in terms of enhancing your language skills with this method, you are on the right path! Reading a prepared short story book is a fun and easy way to learn a new language, however, there are a few other activities you can start to improve your language skills. 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 easy to read and hopefully entertaining stories written in Japanese with a corresponding translation of each sentence to the English language. We have included a variety of genres: humor, romance, and mystery, using true storytelling and fascinating aspects of daily life in Japan.
