Start Reading Japanese

Getting away from textbook Japanese and reading "real" Japanese is every language learner's goal. The Norlin library Asian Studies Collection has a collection of "readers" to help you boost your comprehension of written Japanese. As soon as you can read kana, you can start using these books even if you speak only a little Japanese. We will also teach some tips and tricks to really get the most out of the reading collection.
