Saki - Saki novellák
A szépirodalom eredetiben sorozat - mint neve is mutatja - az értékes irodalmi műveket a maguk eredetiségében juttatja el az olvasókhoz azzal a céllal, hogy a nyelvtanulók minél szélesebb köre élvezhesse az érdekes, ötletes írások eredeti nyelvezetét. Segítségképpen a nehezebb szavak, kifejezések fordítását a lap szélén - a kifejezéssel egy sorban - megadtuk. A jobb megértést segítik ezen felül a novellák után található jegyzetek, melyek főként kulturális adalékot, információt tartalmaznak. Használati javaslat: Ne akarja a könyvet egyszerre kiolvasni, olvasson el egy-egy novellát, lehetőleg szótár nélkül - az sem baj, ha a lapszéli segítséget sem veszi igénybe - és próbálja meg megérteni, miről is van szó. Ezután kezdje elölről és igyekezzen a nyelvi jelenségekre koncentrálni. Ekkor már a szótárt is igénybe veheti. Ha érdekes kifejezést vagy szót talál, jelölje meg azt, ami érdekli és később próbálja más mondatba belehelyezni. Így megbarátkozik vele, megtanulja és aktív szókincse részévé teszi. A lapszéli magyar fordítás nem feltétlenül az adott szó legáltalánosabb és legpontosabb fordítása, hanem az, amelyik a mondatba a legjobban beleillik. Ezért mielőtt megpróbálja más környezetben használni, ellenőrizze a szótárban.
