A Digital Toolkit for (very) Beginners of Japanese with MP3 Sound Files of all the Japanese WHO IS THIS FOR? 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. 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. :) Start Your Japanese Learning Journey Today Buy this bundle now, pay once and get lifetime updates including future contents and supplementary material.

Haiku - Yosa Buson NEW! All titles include sound files of the Japanese!   JOKES IN JAPANESE Dad jokes. Every culture has them, but Japanese takes these groan-worthy yet clever puns to an all new level. The Japanese language has fewer sounds than most languages which happily results in a large number of homophones. This makes creating puns and wordplay fairly easy. Not too fond of oyaji gyagu? Don't worry. We will also cover fun riddles and jokes that won't make Dad even grin. NINJA PENGUIN Follow the flightless ninja from Okinawa to Hokkaido. As he learns about Japanese geography, so will you.    HAIKU Covers twenty famous haiku by the most famous Japanese poets. Learn vocabulary, haiku terminology, and the culture behind these pithy works of art.    HAIKU BASHO Learn twenty of Matsuo Basho's most famous haiku. Includes commentary on each haiku as well as a complete vocabulary breakdown. Scan the QR code to instantly play the recording. Updated with more explanation and commentary.   HAIKU MASAOKA SHIKI Learn twenty of Masaoka Shiki's most famous haiku. Includes commentary on each haiku as well as a complete vocabulary breakdown. Scan the QR code to instantly play the recording. Masaoka Shiki was a remarkable poet who revitalized haiku in the late 19th century. Though he died tragically young at just 34, Shiki left behind an incredible legacy of over 20,000 haiku.   HAIKU KOBAYASHI ISSA Kobayashi Issa (1763-1828) was a renowned Edo-period haiku poet known for his deeply personal and empathetic style. His haiku often highlighted the struggles and beauty of everyday life, with a focus on small creatures and nature, infused with humor and irony. Though he faced many personal hardships, Issa is now celebrated as one of Japan’s greatest haiku masters, alongside Basho, Buson, and Shiki.   HAIKU YOSA BUSON 与謝(よさ)蕪村(ぶそん) (1716-1784) was an influential Edo-period poet and painter, remembered for reshaping haiku through his unique blend of literary and visual artistry. Buson’s haiku conveyed a delicate sensitivity to nature, marked by lush imagery, seasonal depth, and a nostalgic, romantic undertone—distinct from Basho’s austere style.   KARATE JAPANESE A crash course on 300 essential and common terms you may hear in the martial arts.  JAPANESE NAMES In this book, we'll thoroughly study the top 100 family and over a hundred given names (male and female) through kanji studies, worksheets, and Anki flashcard decks.    Buy this bundle now and get ALL future volumes in this series FREE Please Note: This is the digital version of the books.

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?
