Eyes of a Child

Japundit contributor Danny Bloom has recently published a Japanese edition of inspirational message book In the Eyes of a Child, It’s Never Too Late to Begin Again, with longtime Japan resident Amy Chavez as the publisher with her Dollar Bookstore website.

The new edition is in English and Japanese, wonderfully translated by Mitsuko Ebihara in Tokyo, and it comes in the format of a deck of 52 bilingual cards that can be used for learning English at home or in the classroom.

The book sells for just one American dollar, and orders can be placed over the Internet using PayPal. The intended target audience for the Japanese edition is Japanese learners of English, but native English speakers can also enjoy the inspirational message it contains. Danny says the book has been translated so far into Chinese, Japanese and Korean, and he is hoping to publish 25 translations online eventually.

If any readers overseas want to translate the text into Swedish, German, French, Italian, Spanish or Finnish, please contact the author at: danbloom {ATMARK] gmail [DOT} com

Japanese learn English cards is interestingly different. Usually it’s English to Japanese but being in Japan Engish to Japanese must be “different” too.

Too confusing? Learn English! (or perhaps I should)
