Description
Twenty-five haiku, heard until you own them. This audiobook of Chiyo-ni: Learn Japanese through Haiku brings you 25 poems by Kaga no Chiyo-jo (Chiyo-ni), one of the great haiku poets of the Edo period.
How each haiku is taught
- You hear the poem read in full, then slowly.
- It is taken apart line by line, with the vocabulary and a literal translation of each line.
- Yumi explains the poem in Japanese, with the English alongside.
- Then it is your turn: a "Now you, line by line" round where you say each line yourself.
Japanese narration by native speaker Yumi Boutwell, English by Clay Boutwell: the husband-and-wife team behind TheJapanShop.com, helping people learn Japanese since 2002.
