内容紹介：This book is written for people who wish to have fun while learning how to read and write hiragana characters. It has many illustrations、but don’t think that it is just for children?I have included many phrases that are widely used in everyday adult life so that the reader can learn not only hiragana but also some useful things to use in conversational Japanese as well.　The Japanese language consists of three different writing systems: hiragana、katakana、and kanji. Hiragana is learned first in school、followed by katakana and then kanji.　Difficult kanji characters often have their pronunciations written directly above them to assist readers、a technique known as furigana. This book will show you how to read the furigana that appears in manga、newspapers、and other text.　If writing hiragana is not a priority for you、try the reading exercises. Being able to read literature or manga on your own is a great motivator for advancing your Japanese study.
