Japan School Picture Book

About this book

500 Japanese words from a real Japanese elementary school — from the blackboard to the school lunch tray! The biggest bilingual school picture book for kids. Every word with romaji AND free listening audio!

Open the classroom door, find your desk, raise your hand, carry the school lunch wagon, play tag in the schoolyard, cheer at sports day, borrow a book from the library, and walk home with your randoseru on your back — a day at a Japanese school is full of words! Most English–Japanese first-word books stop at 100 or 320 general words, and many leave parents guessing how the Japanese words are pronounced. Japan School Picture Book: My First 500 Japanese Words is a whole school day in one book:

500 school words (not 100, not 320) across 10 chapters — the classroom, school supplies, lessons, school lunch, recess and play, school events, PE and music, the library, teachers and friends, and going to school Romaji for every single word, so any parent can read Japanese aloud with confidence A picture for every word — each illustration pairs a school motif with the word's first kana, so children learn Japanese letters while they learn words Free audio QR code: scan it to open the listening page and hear all 500 words in English and Japanese Only-in-Japan school words you won't find in other books: randoseru, indoor shoes, lunch duty, the red-and-white cap, group walks to school, and more

Perfect for bilingual families, kids getting ready for school in Japan, and any child who wants to peek inside a Japanese classroom.
