I’m so sorry it took me so long to reply to you! I actually just bought よつばと！not long ago, actually. I have the first volume in English as extra insurance… Anyway, thank you very much for the kind comment, and I’m sorry again for the delay in replying to you. I’ll check out “Read or Die”–how fun!

Hello Clarissa, I think it’s great that you are “practicing what you preach” and that you’re giving 多読 a try. I have been actively studying Japanese on my own for about a year now, and just recently started getting into some low level reading material. I have found the manga よつばと！ to be highly entertaining, with furigana to help read more difficult words and a lot of colloquial conversation. The main character is a young girl too, so her dialogue is almost always in hiragana/katakana.

I arrived at your site from a search on the term “tadoku” because I recently joined a “competition” (read: fun language learning game) that involves reading as much as we can in our target learning language. The site devoted to the “competition” is here: http://readmod.wordpress.com/2010/07/22/read-or-die-returns-with-more-reading-and-dying/

I mainly just wanted to drop you a note to say that I enjoyed reading some of your posts about “extensive reading” and how important it is to language aquisition. Thank you for sharing!

Hi, I just happen to be here while I was surfing with a word ‘Tadoku.’ I’m really surprised to see you are reading one of the books my friend’s partner is making. I’m a Japanere, learning English, and a bid fan of Tadoku. You site seems to have tons of things I’m interested in, so I’m going to dig more now. Thank you!
