  Learn Japanese with Stories...

  This audiobook brings you two of Japan's most beloved tales. The first is the story of a samurai no taller than your pinky finger: a tiny hero with a sewing needle for a sword, who sets out to make something of himself, saves a princess, and sees his dearest wish come true. 
  The second is Kaguya-hime, the Moon Princess: a glowing child found inside a stalk of bamboo, who grows into the most beautiful woman in Japan. Princes court her with impossible gifts, the emperor himself takes notice, and yet every evening she gazes up at the moon and weeps. It is one of the oldest stories in Japanese literature, and perhaps the world's first science-fiction story. 
  Each story is taught in seven passes, so your understanding builds one layer at a time: 
  Story introduction: a short English preview so you know where you're headed 
  Vocabulary: key words in Japanese, then English, with room to repeat after a native speaker 
  Slow speed: the full story read slowly and clearly 
  Line-by-line: each sentence broken into short phrases with English meanings, then rebuilt 
  Normal speed: the story at natural pace, to hear how much more you catch now 
  Comprehension questions: answer out loud, then hear a model answer 
  English version: the whole story in English to confirm you understood it 
  Japanese narration by native speaker Yumi Boutwell, with English explanations by Clay Boutwell. Learn Japanese with Stories has been helping people learn Japanese since 2002. 
  No textbook needed: press play in the car or on a walk and let the repetition do the work. For upper beginners (JLPT N5 to N4) ready to move past word lists into real Japanese. Includes a companion PDF with the Japanese text and vocabulary.

  The Babel Message - A Love...

  'Quite simply, and quite ridiculously, one of the funniest and most illuminating books I have ever read. I thought I was obsessive, but Keith Kahn-Harris is playing a very different sport. He really has discovered the whole world in an egg.' Simon Garfield
  A thrilling journey deep into the heart of language, from a rather unexpected starting point.
  
  Keith Kahn-Harris is a man obsessed with something seemingly trivial - the warning message found inside Kinder Surprise eggs:
  
  WARNING, read and keep: Toy not suitable for children under 3 years. Small parts might be swallowed or inhaled.
  
  On a tiny sheet of paper, this message is translated into dozens of languages - the world boiled down to a multilingual essence. Inspired by this, the author asks: what makes 'a language'? With the help of the international community of language geeks, he shows us what the message looks like in Ancient Sumerian, Zulu, Cornish, Klingon - and many more. Along the way he considers why Hungarian writing looks angry, how to make up your own language, and the meaning of the heavy metal umlaut.
  
  Overturning the Babel myth, he argues that the messy diversity of language shouldn't be a source of conflict, but of collective wonder. This is a book about hope, a love letter to language.
  'This is a wonderful book. A treasure trove of mind-expanding insights into language and humanity encased in a deliciously quirky, quixotic quest. I loved it. Warning: this will keep you reading.' - Ann Morgan, author of Reading the World: Confessions of a Literary Explorer
