This is a Japanese-Spanish book, it was designed for Spanish speaking learners of the Japanese language, I designed this book because most educative material for Japanese language is usually in English, Portuguese or completely in Japanese, which discourages a lot of students, who end up abandoning Japanese studies after the first or second level.
Learners will be able to contextualize each kanji through illustration and narrative, making memorization easier and more effective than just using vocabulary cards or language books.
The book includes a set of vocabulary cards to be used in-class by a teacher or to be used as study material, they include the Kanji, an illustration from the book, Spanish translation, readings and example words.
It also includes four games that encourage discussion about some aspects of Japanese culture such as the celebration of the new year and the celebration of children's day.
Finally the book comes with some freebies such as postcards and buttons, which can be used by the leading teacher as rewards during classes, after tests or as souvenirs at the end of a semester.
