Learn Basic Japanese with Totoro: Easy Reading, Grammar & Kanji #12 📖 Beyond Beginner N4, N3, N2
🌟 Learn Japanese with Ghibli! We'll be reading My Neighbor Totoro - となりのトトロ by Oscar-winning director/writer Hayao Miyazaki/宮崎駿 in Japanese. This is the 12th session! I've simplified the text to suit learners without changing Miyazaki-san's original intent. It’s mostly geared towards N4 and above, but I'll also make it easier for N5 learners. This is perfect for those looking for immersion and/or comprehensible input materials. You can practice shadowing as I read the text multiple times.
