USJETAA Japanese Reading Group - December 2022

The goal of the USJETAA Japanese Reading Group is to help advanced beginner and intermediate level students improve their reading skills. Each month we will look at a short reading from Aozora Bunko, a repository of public domain literature. Participants should attempt to do the reading on their own and come to the meeting with any questions. We will spend the meeting each month reading the assignment sentence by sentence to understand how the Japanese is working.

In December, we'll be reading 雪男 (Snow Man) by physicist and essayist Nakaya Ukichiro https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/001569/files/59801_74438.html The reading this month has standard kana usage, so it should be much less challenging than the past few months! It's also much shorter. I hope you all join in.
