What is "Easy Japanese (Japanese)"?


"Easy Japanese (Nihongo)" is Japanese (Nihongo) that is easy to read even for those who do not yet have Japanese (Nihongo).
Yokohama City (Yokohamas) is English (Eigo), Chinese (Chugokugo) (Simplified (Kantaiji)), Hangul and other words (languages) to foreigners (gaikokujin). I'm letting you know.
But there are many people who don't understand these words. That's why I'm letting them know in "Easy Japanese" for those people.

I made a "finger" sheet.

At the window of the ward office (Kuyakusho), it is a "finger" sheet that makes it easier to tell you what you come and come with.
It is written in "Easy Japanese (Nihongo)" and English (Eigo), Chinese (Chugokugo) (Simplified (Kantaiji), Hangul, and illustrations.
