Project: Globish Hadashi no Tabi

So I have a book that I wrote, a travelogue about a trip that Mami and I made in Japan in 2005. I then had the idea of converting it into a graded reader whose reading level increases as you go through it. I call it Globish Hadashi no Tabi.

There are 100 chapters. The sentence length, vocabulary, grammar and chapter length increases progressively. By the time that the ESL reader gets to the end, he or she will have improved their English.

Current state of the project: I'm recording the chapters as mp3 files. Mami will put together an electronic version for Kindle.
