Sorry to be a pain but I was wondering if you had any Japanese children’s book recommendations? I’m a beginner (just learned hiragana and katakana and only know very basic phrases and vocabulary) and I was also wondering if you had an advice on how to read them? For example as I am a very beginner beginner I won’t know many words so should I start but reading paragraph by paragraph and translating everything I don’t know? Thank you 💕
First of all, sorry for late reply! I was busy these past weeks, that I only opened Tumblr yesterday.
I recommend this site for the Japanese children’s book. Notice that I did not recommend you a particular book, because I believe that each children book gives joy, and I want you to enjoy reading each one of them (^o^)
For the reading part, I suggest you to know first the meaning of each word, before reading it by paragraph. In this way, not only you learn the meaning, but also understand the content of the story. Make a flash card (like Anki deck) so you can memorize easily each word you have to learn (^_-)
I hope I was able to help you @jupiturde!

Spanish Vocab List - El bosque de la bruja / The Witch’s Forest
I started this list all “let’s talk about trees and flowers” and then it took a hard turn into “now say you meet Baba Yaga in the forest…” and I’m not going to apologize for the spoopy witchy vibes
la bruja = witch [also technically you can see/use el brujo for “male witch” or “warlock” though often “witch” in English comes across as distinctly feminine]
el aquelarre = a coven, a witches’ coven
la hora bruja = the witching hour la hora de brujas = the witching hour
la brujerĂa = witchcraft
el curandero, la curandera = healer [sometimes santero/a which has multiple meanings - it can be “witchdoctor” but also a practitioner of santerĂa which is a mix of religious and folk traditions]

el mago, la maga = mage / magician
el encanto = enchantment, charm / magic spell
