READING JAPANESE

INTRODUCTION

This adaptation of READING JAPANESE contains four chapters which teach the katakana

syllabary, and four chapters which teach the hiragana syllabary. It has been formatted so that each

PDF page fits entirely on your screen. It is meant to be given freely without charge to promote the

study of the Japanese language. Reading Japanese was developed under contract with the U.S.

Office of Education, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. This free version has been

republished by KanjiCafe.com, and was underwritten by the generous support of people like you,

who have purchased their Japanese educational products at the Rolomail Trading Company, and at

Mangajin Publishing (Wasabi Brothers Trading Company).

The Original textbook was prepared over a number of years, field tested in a number of

institutions, and was checked, typed, indexed and proofread by an extensive number of people,

hundreds of copies being sent out to participating schools for criticism and classroom reaction.

These schools, among others, included Bucknell University, Columbia University, the Foreign

Service Institute, University of Iowa, University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, the Japan

National Language Research Institute, and most especially Cornell University, where the authors

were from. This book is truly the result of an unusual level of cooperation.

READING JAPANESE is not a handbook or a dictionary, but was specifically prepared to

introduce adult foreigners, in particular English speakers, to the Japanese language, and enable

them to begin reading. Material is presented in an ordered fashion, and each increment of new

material presupposes mastery of what was studied before, but only what was studied before.

READING JAPANESE

PROCEDURES

Japanese is normally written with a mixture of two syllabaries (kana) and Chinese characters

(kanji). In kana writing, symbols represent syllables without reference to meaning, whereas

kanji regularly stand for sound plus meaning. More will be said about both systems later.

The first four lesson of this eBook introduce the katakana . Students should go through these

lessons, concentrating first on the reading and then the writing of each new symbol and the

examples provided. They should practice until all the Japanese material included (1) can be

read in random order, accurately, rapidly, and without any hesitation, and (2) can be written

accurately and rapidly, given either oral dictation of the Japanese, or the romanized equivalent

of the Japanese.

A final note: Those who conscientiously work through this text, following all recommended

procedures and moving ahead to a new lesson only after the previous lesson is adequately

internalized, can expect to acquire a solid basic foundation in Japanese reading. They will be

thoroughly familiar with all the katakana that have been introduced, through recurring contact

in assorted contexts, and they will be ready to move ahead into materials that add the hiragana

and kañji to their repertoire.

READING JAPANESE

LESSON 1

INTRODUCTION

The first four lessons introduce katakana , the syllabary used primarily for writing loanwords

(i.e., words borrowed from foreign languages). Katakana is also used to represent native

Japanese items that are intended to stand out in the context in which they occur. The use of

katakana in Japanese often corresponds to the use of italics in English: katakana occurs

frequently in advertisements; it is also used in writing items that represent something strange or

unusual from a linguistic point of view (for example, in quoting foreigners' errors in Japanese);

and it is often used in writing onomatopoeic words—i.e., those that are supposed to represent

their meaning by their sound (example: gatagata representing a rattling sound). In addition,

katakana is used in writing telegrams and, together with kañzi , in writing legal documents.

While most current linguistic borrowings by the Japanese is from English, there are many

loanwords derived from other languages. For example, among place names, Suisu 'Switzerland',

Itaria 'Italy', and Doitu 'Germany', all have non-English origins. The emphasis in the lessons that

follow, however, will be on the reading of Katakana as it is used to represent loanwords of

English origin. In particular, foreign place names and personal names will be used as examples

in the introduction of each new katakana symbol. The writing of kana should, of course, also be

mastered. After learning to read a symbol, students should practice writing, working back from

the romanization of the examples to the original kana .
