Learn Japanese with Stories Volume 9 is a Japanese reader with full furigana and native audio, pitched at the upper-beginner level where graded readers usually leave off. The story is a classic Japanese folktale, bilingual on the page: the Japanese text with a full English translation, vocabulary and grammar notes. The code printed in the back unlocks the stories in the free Makoto Japanese Explorer app for iPhone, iPad and Android, where you can tap any word for its reading and meaning.

• All kanji characters have furigana.
• Three Stories in Total: 

• * The Fountain of Youth: A traditional Japanese folk tale
  
  * The Hundred Tales Game: With the scariest of all endings

  * The Wise Child: A child shows his smarts by answering the question, which is farther, Edo or the Sun.

• Three ways to read the story:
  
  GLOSS: Read the story with a running gloss—understand completely. Every sentence is broken down word-for-word and with English explanation of the grammar.

  JAPANESE ONLY: The full story in Japanese only (without the running gloss) is also provided so you can practice reading without interruption.
  
  ENGLISH SUMMARY: Finally, we have included a simple and mostly literal English translation for you to check your understanding (Don’t cheat! Work through the Japanese first!).
• Short stories makes reading full Japanese texts possible. This book has two complete stories with a total explanation for every level.
• Download the FREE MP3s to listen while you study. (Link will be emailed to you after ordering)
