Materials

The Language Garden has about 1,000 DVDS!

The Language Garden has plenty of DVDs and those are divided into categories. For example, Hollywood movies (of course we have many of them!), TV drama series and animation etc. Since you can watch DVDs with English sound and English subtitle, it is going to be good practice to improve your listening skill. Moreover, we have not only English movies, but also Spanish movies, French movies, Korean movies, German movies and so on. You can also learn some foreign languages here!

Language Gardenには、映画や、TVドラマ、アニメ等、1,000本以上のDVDがあります。好きな時間に、英語音声・英語字幕付きで鑑賞することが出来ます。また、英語のDVDだけではなく、他の外国語 (韓国語やスペイン語等) のDVDもあります。

The Language Garden has about 2,500 books.

There are many Graded Readers (you might read for your class as an assignment.) with some genres (romance, comedy, history etc…). Not only “Graded Readers”, but also there are essays, novels, magazines and comic books. Comic books are easily accessible to you with pictures. Let’s try to read them!

Language Gardenには、2500冊を超える本があります。英語学習者向けに作られた”Graded Readers” をはじめ、マンガ、小説等も揃っています。
