Could be good review though, depending on your level.Īs I mentioned in my review of level 0, the price is a big ouch in the pocket! (Luckily this set was offered for free online at the time of this review!) If you REALLY want one of these, I would likely recommend level 1 or 2 to start. For more advanced learners, it might feel a little slow however. It was nice to read along with the audio. Just omg wow, dad of the century right there LOL) I suppose a little attempt at comedy to lighten the mood of some of the more darker stories in this set x'D (I think the first one of the four was my favorite. The last story is actually broken up into four smaller ones.Time passes quickly when you're having fun-has a new meaning to me now! The turtle thanks him by taking him into the ocean and then to a palace where they meet a princess. The fourth story is a folk tale about Taro who saves a sea turtle.

The third story is a cute one between two people meeting and getting to know each other, then proceeding on a date a while later.It's based on a true story about the love a dog shares for his master. She is dealing with hardships brought about from her parents divorce. She has everything you could ever want, but one thing-her voice. The first story is a little intense, follows a little girl.These do not come with translations, just a heads up! In terms of grammar, they're effectively the same. The main difference is an increase in the number of words per story, and a different set of vocab/kanji. Level 1 is N5 and quite similar to level 0. The sets come with audio to read along with the stories, and for level 0 and 1 (haven't read the others yet), furigana for all kanji (and katakana). They start at Level 0 and go up to Level 4, encompassing JLPT levels N5 to about N3/N2. These are intended for learners of Japanese. This is Level 1 in a series of graded readers. Before I get too far into this, let's quickly cover what this book is: Okay, this set made me CRY! The first volume was so cute, but a few of these stories are SO SAD.
