Japanese Festivals in Japanese Language (Step.2 TAKE‪)‬

Step.2 - TAKE (竹, bamboo)


This book is for students who are interested in Japanese traditional events and language.

In this book you will have fun finding out about Japanese traditions while naturally learning a new language.

For many different levels of Japanese learners, there are three books using different styles of writing.


In this version, you can read Japanese in three ways.

One is a mixture of hiragana and kanji, but above of every kanji there is hiragana to show how to read it.

Others are the writing using only hiragana instead of regular Japanese kanji, katakana and hiragana sentences. One of the hiragana writing uses pauses in the hiragana sentences in order to get a place to punctuate, because Japanese doesn't have spaces between words. The other is natural hiragana writing without spaces.

You can learn to read by comparing the two texts, to help you understand the kanji.

Of course, there is an English translation, too.

Additionally, there is a table showing how to read Japanese dates because the readings of certain dates are quite different from other regular numbers
