And we will have a 1 day break after each story.

@emucat sorry, that we won‘t start this week. I hope you don‘t abandon us :see_no_evil:

It took me close to 2 hours to read the 2nd story in the grade 1 book. The lack of kanji really slowed me down. I found I was constantly looking up words I know already know in their kanji form but didn’t recognise in hiragana. I felt like I took a giant leap backwards on my Japanese journey at the time, but on reflection, it was a learning experience so actually a good thing

Too bad this doesn’t have an ebook version. Unfortunately, shipping books from Japan is quite expensive… it usually more than doubles the cost of the book(s). :frowning: I’ll see if I can manage to squeeze it in next month.

How does it compare to the Grade 2 book? Are we in for a similar experience? Interesting that having WaniKani be part of my early Japanese learning, I have a similar issue in that kanji is easier for me to deal with than streams of hiragana. For example, while I was reading the other day, I came across わかる and it took me a second (okay minute) to recognize it as 分かる. However, I wonder if that is how the JLPT N5 exam is.

I found it on USA Amazon and ordered it. However, I ordered it on August 26 and I am yet to receive it. If you are interested, you can find a link to in in my previous post.

Grade 2 has a little bit more kanji, but I believe the grammar is pretty similar

Sadly this option is even slightly more expensive. :sweat_smile: I’ll just order it from Amazon JP next month. I do want to buy another book from there anyway. Thanks though! :slight_smile:
