These are the classic Japanese short stories that make reading actually fun — every word defined, every grammar point explained, and the kanji explored along the way. You'll pick up real vocabulary and grammar while absorbing the culture behind the tales. The Big Update What Changed in This Edition This wasn't a light touch-up. We went through all ten books page by page and rebuilt them from the reading up. Here's what's new. ① Read anywhere — app, tablet, or phone Unlock every story in the app Read the full collection in the Makoto Japanese Explorer app on iPhone, iPad, and Android — no files to manage. 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. New art and structure Fresh watercolor illustrations and ink-brush dividers, with three consistent sections per story: line-by-line → full Japanese → close English summary. ~100 pages of brand-new content added across the ten books — and as always, every update is yours free, for life. All ten books, freshly redesigned inside and out. What's Included The bundle is complete with ten full-length volumes.

Total beginners and "eternal" beginners. Are you struggling with hiragana? Know all the kana but need to improve your reading comprehension? 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?

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?
