2 Minute Reading Comprehension Drills

Complement your Japanese language studies with this colorful drill book of 59 two-minute lessons designed to boost your Japanese reading comprehension. This method of instruction -- found in “cram schools” across Japan -- approaches reading from five angles of understanding: basic comprehension, word correspondences, charts and graphics, logical usage, and connecting words. You will also encounter sentences and figures observed in daily life in Japan, including maps, guides, menus, and application forms. 

While 2-Minute Reading Comprehension Drills is only in Japanese with no English translations, Japanese language learners of all skill levels (N5-N1) may benefit from these rapid-fire lessons with the aid of a Japanese-to-English dictionary. Mastery of Japanese kana is highly recommended.
