Teach Your Children First Words in English or Japanese
This little story is about Bobby the dog. He is missing. You need to find him! The search for him in different places is a delightful read-aloud. Little dogs like to play, right? But sometimes, they disappear. Why did he leave without his bone? Did he go to the dentist? Maybe he could not chew his bone anymore?
Where did he go?
Kids will learn different places, objects, and simple questions and answers, but mostly, they will cry out a loud “hooray” when the funny dog is discovered at the end. Where? Well, just read…
Here’s what makes this book special:
Each line is both in English and Japanese
The story is simple and suitable for early age learning
All the illustrations are original, creative and super fun
AND SO MUCH MORE!
Kids learn quickly and easily. With bilingual children’s books, you set them up for success and expand their horizons from an early age! This dual-language story is specifically designed to teach children new foreign words and phrases as you read to them. The book is also available in other languages. If you and your children like funny animals and a bit of seek-and-find, then you’ll both love this charming story!
Two Versions Of Japanese:
This book is for bilingual language learning. It is edited in two versions. Considerations in the editing are following differences between English and Japanese grammar.
Pronouns (I, you, he, she, me, him, her, etc.) are often dropped in the subject and/or object as well as in the possessive form in Japanese.
There are different verb forms: polite, simple, dictionary form, etc., besides verb conjugations.
Finally, there are sentence-ending particles to convey nuances.
In the text, the first line in bold letters uses children’s language, which is not generally taught in Japanese learning books. The second line in smaller letters includes pronouns and uses a polite form which is typically taught in Japanese language textbooks.
For all kids learning English or Japanese as a second language.
