Read, listen and play to learn the japanese language. For Nintendo DS
A series of picture books aimed toward little kids to help them read. Three children's stories are included in each title, and can be read in Japanese or in Japanese and English side by side. Oekaki (drawing), a keyboard to play melodies, and a puzzle game are also included.
Volume 1 contains Momotarou, Peter Pan, and The City Mouse and the Country Mouse.
Three stories have a Japanese language mode and English language mode. ( both englisch + japanese voice and text ! ) The Picturebook pages are interactive. The Text is in the top. You can use the stylus to touch on the screen to make different things move around and sounds activate. In special areas a bunny with a microphone will come out in the touch screen area and you can speak (anything) into the mic to make some sort of action happen.
Like with using the stylus only the input is sound. you can mute the storyteller, and read to yourself. Using the on-screen commands to turn the pages, or using the L and R buttons, in a right to left style. (so pressing the L button moves the story forward)
The other features of this title is a puzzlegame and a musicgame ( play piano ) and drawing board.
The Pianogame gives you a simple keyboard to peck out a tune with, also including a record and playback.
The last feature is the drawing pad. Plenty of your basic colors to choose from.
This is a nice title practice my reading japanese hiragana ( listen and read ) while
you also can see the translation in english same time.
