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 and the possessive form in Japanese.
There are different verb forms: polite, straightforward, 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 typically taught in Japanese language textbooks.
