USJETAA Japanese Reading Group - March 2024
In March, just in time for Women’s History Month, we'll read the second half of the story 鶴の笛 (The Crane's Flute) by well known writer Hayashi Fumiko—often considered to be in the canon of feminist literature in Japan. We are continuing from the sentence 「まア、そんなに笛の音が遠くまできこえるのでしょうか。あれは、足の悪いうちの主人が吹いているのですよ。」. Click here for the link to this month's reading.

About the USJETAA Japanese Reading Group
The goal of the USJETAA Japanese Reading Group is to help advanced, beginner and intermediate level learners improve their reading skills. Each month we discuss a short reading from Aozora Bunko, a repository of public domain literature. Participants should attempt to do the reading on their own and bring questions to the group.
We gather online and read the assignment sentence by sentence to understand how the Japanese is working. Registration is free, but we always appreciate donations to support these types of programs.
You can post questions and receive the reading link early each month in the USJETAA Japanese Reading Group Facebook Group.
