It's mostly in hiragana, but includes some basic level kanji too, which is helpful for novices. They're written by someone who was learning Japanese so they may not be as accurate as someone who is more fluent, but are helpful for novices like myself.

I definitely appreciate the fruits of hard work and study now as reading it getting progressively easier. :D Well, you did a great job, and for fellow Japanese students like myself, the efforts are appreciated.

I think it's true what you say about re-reading. As you re-read you grow in confidence and everything starts to flow. Sometimes you catch subtlties that you would have before with only one or two reads. Glad you enjoyed the slides :) Hi Doug, thanks for the plug. I think it’s true what you say about re-reading.
