      Introduction

      1. If your Japanese is excellent.

      Roll around laughing at the hilarious Japanese jokes.

      2． If your Japanese is not bad.

      Use the vocabulary at the bottom of the page to help you and then roll around laughing at the hilarious Japanese jokes.

      3． If your Japanese is terrible.

      Read the English translations on the following page and then roll around laughing at the hilarious jokes - pretending you understood them in Japanese.

      Learning Japanese is not an easy task but reading jokes is a great way to read simple Japanese - and to be rewarded with a laugh - or a groan - after every few lines. If you read all the jokes in book you will read around 3500 words of Japanese.

      In addition to Japanese language, there are also ten questions with beautiful images from Japan reflecting Japanese culture. How many of the questions can you answer? We hope you enjoy reading the jokes and that you tell your friends about the book.
