Tap any word Look up meanings and readings as you go, with the audio for each story built right in. Sentence Explorer Study each sentence interactively, word by word, online or in the app via Makoto+ Sentence Explorer. ② Read with a plan — not just front to back "Before You Read" A short, spoiler-free warm-up before each story: the grammar, vocabulary, and cultural patterns worth watching for. Exercises + Answer Keys Comprehension questions, particle fill-in-the-blanks, grammar-pattern hunts, and translation comparisons — with full answer keys so you can check yourself. Enrichment Boxes Grammar spotlights, cultural notes, vocabulary builders, and reading tips dropped in right beside the sentence they explain. ③ Cleaner, more honest Japanese Romaji is gone We removed romaji from the Japanese content and use furigana instead, so your eyes stay on the kana and kanji where they belong. Furigana, done right Furigana over every kanji in the word-by-word notes, resized on the sentences for a cleaner read, and removed from the vocab headwords so you recall the reading yourself. A full editorial pass We corrected readings, fixed word breakdowns (conjugations and morphology), and tightened every definition across the whole bundle. ④ Beautiful and easy to use Redesigned title pages Title, watercolor illustration, audio QR codes, and a short story teaser — all on one page. Never lose your place Running headers and page numbers throughout, plus a clickable table of contents in every book.

Our Beri-Beri-Shoshinsha beginner's bundle of digital books and resources will not only help you with those but also Japanese grammar, vocabulary, kanji, and listening comprehension. If you have never studied a lick of Japanese, this is for you. If you feel like you are an "eternal beginner," this is for you. If you are studying for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) N5, this bundle is also for you. あ Hiragana Beginners Just starting with the Japanese alphabet 文 Eternal Beginners Started and stopped Japanese multiple times N5 JLPT Aspirants Preparing for the very first level of JLPT Japanese reading practice for beginners In addition to foundational topics, Beri-Beri-Shoshinsha also contains dozens of short stories to practice reading hiragana and even simple kanji. Once you learn hiragana, next comes practice, and this bundle includes tons of fun practice. We call these stories "Yonde Miyou" which means "try to read" or "let's read." Each story or essay is short and interesting. No Dick and Jane or boring fluff. Read about common (and funny) mistakes foreigners make in Japan or Japanese. Learn about unusual aspects of Japanese culture. Each story is presented three times. Once in hiragana only with spaces. Once in full Japanese but with furigana over every kanji. And lastly, the story is presented again without furigana. Oh, and every word and grammatical pattern is defined and explained. Now, every single story in the Yonde Miyo~ series is also available inside our brand-new Makoto+ Sentence Explorer. This powerful online tool lets you read and listen to each sentence (with both normal and slow-speed audio), explore vocabulary and grammar notes, and quiz yourself interactively—all from any device. Your purchase of this bundle includes free, unlimited access to the entire Sentence Explorer library for these stories. It's the perfect way to make your reading practice even more effective—and way more fun. Interactively study, read, listen, and learn every sentence and every vocabulary word found in the stories for no extra charge. The unlock codes are found in the download. There are over two dozen of these stories. And that's just one section of Beri-Beri-Shoshinsha! INCREDIBLE VALUE Get 16 eBooks and resource packs for one low price and all with sound files.

The Frank and the Obaasan series is also found in its own, but this is the best value overall. All other titles and worksheets are only found here. All titles include sound files! For beginners of Japanese--even (especially) those just starting out ABOUT THE TITLE The name is a play on two English words plus the Japanese word for "beginner". ベリー beri- sounds like "very" and "berry" and 初心者 shoshinsha means "beginner" in Japanese (see the breakdown of that word below). So, ベリーベリー初心者 (beri- beri- shoshinsha) can mean "very very beginners" or "berry berry beginners." The name isn't particularly meaningful, but it is cute and we like it. :) 🎌 Love this bundle?

Everything You Need to Go from Zero to JLPT N5 Ready The Super Bundle Over $125 of eBooks and Resources for $49 Save $86 vs buying everything separately at retail. The complete beginner path: start at zero, finish ready for the JLPT N5 exam. This Super Bundle pairs our two most popular beginner bundles into one package. Beri- Beri- Shoshinsha → (Literally "very very beginner.") The foundation. Walks you from hiragana through basic grammar — and crucially includes our full library of beginner graded readers. Easy stories to actually practice what you learn, instead of drilling sentence patterns into a notebook and hoping they stick. JLPT N5 → Takes those fundamentals and sharpens them. Each book focuses on one slice of the test — grammar, vocabulary, kanji, listening, reading — so you can target weak spots before you sit. And even if you don't plan to take the JLPT, its framework is one of the cleanest ways to measure real progress at the beginner level. (A test on the calendar is a motivator that flashcards just aren't.) About the overlap. The grammar and kanji books in each bundle cover similar ground — about 60% of the grammar topics and 80% of the kanji appear in both. But the books are built for different purposes: the Beri- Beri- versions teach the language as you'll actually use it, organized by what's useful in real life; the JLPT N5 versions teach you for the test, organized by what the exam asks and how. Same underlying material, two different angles — exactly what a serious learner wants if they care about both fluency and certification. What Customers Are Saying 208 reviews across the two component bundles — 99% positive ★★★★★ "The printable practice sheets for Hiragana and Katakana are worth the package purchase price by themselves." James Schmitt · Beri- Beri- Shoshinsha ★★★★★ "A great set of study materials. I really like that it includes Anki flashcards. I've been using this bundle after finishing the Genki textbook." Anna Glaid · Batumi, GE · JLPT N5 Bundle ★★★★★ "Every sentence is broken down and explained in easy steps that helps the reader understand the structure of Japanese." M.J. · London, GB · Beri- Beri- Shoshinsha ★★★★★ "Excellent material. I'm reviewing the kanji level 5 reading practice. I am very happy with the results. Motivated to go on." Michael LE GRAND · Rebecq, BE · JLPT N5 Bundle ★★★★★ "The worksheets are super helpful for practicing writing and the information is easy to follow. I don't feel overwhelmed with this." Teddy · Beri- Beri- Shoshinsha Reviews above are from the two component bundles. The Complete Beginner Bundle is a newer SKU — its own reviews are still rolling in. Best For Total beginners who want both a structured curriculum AND the reading practice to make it stick Anyone planning to sit for the JLPT N5 — or who wants a real goal to aim at Self-studiers tired of stitching together a study plan from scattered free sources What's Included 23+ eBooks covering hiragana, katakana, grammar, vocabulary, kanji, and reading practice 2,000+ MP3 audio files for listening and pronunciation training Anki decks for spaced-repetition vocabulary and kanji study Sentence Explorer integration for contextual practice (all JLPT N5 books and the Yonde Miyo~ readers in Beri- Beri- Shoshinsha) Complete hiragana & katakana mastery materials Structured grammar and vocabulary progression at the N5 level Kanji and reading practice targeted at JLPT N5 Who Is This For? This bundle is built for absolute beginners with no prior Japanese knowledge, and for pre-N5 learners who want a comprehensive, structured foundation before tackling the JLPT N5 exam. Why Bundle? The individual books in these two bundles would cost $135.76 at Amazon retail. Even the two standalone bundles together run $58. This Super Bundle gives you everything for $49 — the deepest discount we offer on a complete beginner curriculum, with both real-life fluency and JLPT certification covered. All materials are delivered as digital downloads — start learning immediately after purchase.

Learn Japanese with Stories: Mike's Diary Beginning Japanese Phrases Book 1: Podcast episodes 1-30 Beginning Japanese Phrases Book 2: Podcast episodes 31-60 Beginning Japanese Phrases Book 2: Podcast episodes 61-90 All titles include sound files!   ABOUT THE TITLES Learn Japanese with Stories: Mike's Diary If you have learned hiragana and you understand (very) basic Japanese sentence structure, you are ready for this series. Instead of learning isolated vocabulary (no fun!), reading real Japanese is a great way to learn vocabulary and kanji in context. For the beginner, however, native reading material is too much of a challenge. Our Learn Japanese with Stories for Beginners series enables even beginners to truly enjoy reading natural Japanese. The early stories use basic vocabulary, beginner-level grammar, and simplified Japanese sentence structures. As you progress, earlier concepts build into more complex grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structures. Each story is presented in several ways.1. The story with spaces and complete vocabulary and explanation2. The story in full Japanese (without spaces, but with furigana—the small hiragana—over kanji)3. The story in English to cement understanding This is followed by five important kanji found in the story. There are only five kanji here, so spend some time familiarizing yourself with them.   Beginning Japanese Phrases Book 1 - 3 This series is based on a weekly podcast we produce called (unimaginatively) Beginning Japanese Phrases. See here: https://thejapanesepage.com/beginning-japanese-phrases-podcast-and-videos/ As we do in the podcast, we'll introduce one useful Japanese word, phrase, or grammatical function. Then we'll breakdown an example sentence using that word within a common context.Each example sentence will include a literal and more natural translation as well as all the vocabulary and grammar defined and explained. We are including ro-maji at the end, but we highly recommend avoiding that and work through the Japanese instead.   Buy this bundle now and get ALL future volumes in this series FREE   Not a beginner?

NOTE: The digital version is found in the Beri- Beri- Shoshinsha bundle.  Have you only recently learned hiragana but need practice? Or perhaps, your hiragana is no problem, but you want to build your hiragana and kanji reading comprehension? This new collection of stories is here to the rescue! Read real Japanese—beginner level but not boring Japanese! You won't find the Japanese version of Dick and Jane, but you will find stories written for adults. Enjoy reading flash fiction, super short essays, and funny stories of common mistakes made by learners of Japanese.Best of all, the only requirement is that you can read hiragana and have a very basic understanding of Japanese. Vocabulary and grammar will be defined and explained. The format is a little different from our other more advanced readers. The idea is for the reader to read the entire story three times. Each page will have a sentence or two in hiragana (with spaces between words for you to see “words” instead of syllables) at the top and that same content in full Japanese (with furigana—small hiragana over kanji) at the bottom. The middle will have the glossary and grammatical explanations. Lastly, the story is presented in Japanese without furigana. See if you can read it after going through the previous two versions and explanations. If you have just learned hiragana, you may want to listen to the sound file while reading the hiragana section to practice correct pronunciation. If you have studied Japanese a bit longer, you may want to start with the bottom version and take note of the glossary for understanding.The glossary will have the word as it appears in the story, but it will also give the “dictionary” form so you can look the word up further. Having fun while learning a language is a great way to increase motivation. With increased motivation, you are less likely to skip a day's study. A skipped day can quickly become a lost week and then a lost… forever. And so, we hope you will have as much fun reading these stories as we had writing them. This is a physical paperback which will be shipped to you. You'll also receive the digital files for no extra charge immediately after ordering.
