魔女の宅急便（角野栄子）(Kiki's Delivery Service)

Novel Deck | Created by Pep95 | 362 Vocab Items | 73 Grammar Items

My attempt at a learning deck in preparation of the Kadukawa Bunko Edition of Kiki's Delivery Service. I think the other versions are pretty much the same, and probably just don't have the same page numbers. I have added all grammar points that are used in this book above N5 grammar, so after doing this deck, you should be able to read the book with just an N5 grammar understanding. I'm currently working my way through the book, but I'll be adding to the chapters as I continue to go through it. I've currently finished up to chapter 1, using half-finished chapters is at your own risk.
