10,000 Books in Simple English
英語多読完全ブックガイド

Kunihide Sakai,
a Japanese university teacher of English,
kept working on pleasure reading as a
way of learning language.
Based on science of learning and reading,
and on his experience of teaching in Japan,
he came to have three rules for pleasure reading:

1. Make no use of dictionaries or other wordbooks.
2. Simply go over the unclear word.
3. If the book is uninteresting, give it up.

First Steps in Reading English
絵で読む英語
The most common way of
learning an English word, in Japan,
is by joining it with a
Japanese word which has a sense like the English one.
"Head," for example,
is joined with the Japanese word "atama."
"Water," is joined with "mizu."

So most of us
keep in our memories
statements like these:

Head = atama
Water = mizu


The trouble with this way of learning
is that it gives you wrong ideas.

I saw this strange man today
on a street in Sendai.

He was handing cards to
men and women walking by him.

I got a card handed by him.
It was an advertisement of a
new store.
