Yonde Miyo~! Volume 1 - Short and Fun Japanese Stories in Hiragana and Basic Kanji [Paperback]
Yonde Miyo~! Volume 1 - Short and Fun Japanese Stories in Hiragana and Basic Kanji [Paperback] $ 12.99
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.

WHO IS THIS FOR? Beginners who have learned hiragana. The level of this bundle is somewhere between our (total beginner-level) Beri- Beri- Shoshinsha and our more advance readers such as Learn Japanese with Stories.     INCREDIBLE VALUE We are launching this new bundle with only a few books, but it will eventually have ten volumes.  Pay once and get lifetime updates including updates and supplementary material.   WHAT’S INCLUDED? 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?
