The Little Book Of Japanese ANIMALS


Introduction In my time as a Japanese tutor, I have wondered: what is the best way to help early learners understand vocabulary? I believe that showing vocabulary with the use of rich visual imagery helps the learner to absorb and remember the words. In this small, free eBook, I introduce the names of Japanese animals in this format: – Japanese Name – English Name – [Image] – Hiragana – Katakana – Kanji This volume does not contain exercises. I am willing to create exercises if demand is sufficient. For comments and questions on this issue, or about any other issues concerning learning Japanese, or just to say hi, you can contact me at jeremiahbourque@gmail.com anytime. Enjoy my book! - Jeremiah
