Beginning to learn Japanese

this is great! i found stories to read in Japanese. a lovely lady has transcribed them. she made them for her husband. v sweet. this is her site: Do you want to learn japanese?

The stories are transcribed with hiragana and romaji. For example, this story “Natori” has:
- the kanji
- transcibed in hiragana
- transcribed in romaji
- translated in english!

… and helpful coloured phrases. now if i could just get a printer to work!

here is a quote from the site:

1. 笠島村　に　情けの深い　おじいさん　と　おばあさんが 住んで　いました。

1．かさじま　むら　に　なさけ　の　ふかい　おじいさん　と　おばあさん　が　すんで　いました。

1. Kasajima mura ni nasake no fukai oji-san to obaa-san ga sunde imashita.
