Additional Review:

"Open up any one of these books and you'll see beautiful illustrations depicting the target culture, a fun and memorable rhyme, the foreign vocab in Roman letters, as well as in their native script." — Castle View Academy blog

"The book starts with a Japanese language pronunciation guide, then, introduces us to the sights, sounds and culture of Japan, drawing the reader in through its quiet rhymes and engaging illustrations. Throughout the pages, we see the drawings of things familiar to us, but unfamiliar to our tongues, like inu (a dog), chocho (a butterfly) … Listen to the spoken Japanese words in this book and practice saying them, as there is an audio file on the Tuttle website - love that! Tuttle Publishing has a collection of My First Book Word books including Chinese and Korean. After reading My First Book of Japanese words, I would collect them all!" — EeyagiTales.com

My First Book of Japanese Words is a beautifully illustrated book that introduces young children to Japanese language and culture through everyday words.

The words profiled in this book are all commonly used in the Japanese language and are both informative and fun for English-speaking children to learn. The goals of My First Book of Japanese Words are multiple: to familiarize children with the sounds and structure of Japanese speech, to introduce core elements of Japanese culture, to illustrate the ways in which languages differ in their treatment of everyday sounds and to show how, through cultural importation, a single word can be shared between languages.

Both teachers and parents will welcome the book's cultural and linguistic notes and appreciate how the book is organized in a familiar ABC structure. Each word is presented in Kanji (when applicable), Kana, and Romanized form (Romaji).

With the help of this book, we hope more children (and adults) will soon be a part of the 125 million people worldwide that speak Japanese!
