The Frank and the Obaasan series is also found in its own bundle, but this bundle is the best value overall. All other titles and worksheets are only found in this bundle.
All titles include sound files!
For beginners of Japanese--even (especially) those just starting out
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!
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. :)

What is the JLPT?
The JLPT measures Japanese proficiency through exams conducted twice a year in some countries. While taking the test isn't required to benefit from this bundle, it's an ideal tool for beginners who've learned hiragana and some basic grammar.
Who is this for?
For those ready to take on level N5 of the JLPT or those fairly new to the Japanese language, the JLPT N5 bundle is the perfect digital download! For absolute beginners, however, we recommend the Beri-Beri-Shoshinsha bundle instead.
Do I need to take the test?
Not at all. The JLPT is a great way to measure your ability and give you a goal to focus on, but many of our customers who purchase this bundle do so simply because it lays out beginner-level material in an organized manner.
What does it include?
This amazing FIVE-ebook bundle has everything you need to ace the JLPT N5 test! Included are Vocab, Grammar, Reading, and Kanji sections along with sound files, PDFs, ePubs, and - in some books - Anki flashcard decks. Anki is a free computer flashcard program. Download the software here. It does cost money for the iPhone version, but if you use it daily, it can be a powerful way to ramp up your Japanese skills.
Included, at no extra charge, are 1,445 MP3s of each Vocabulary and Example Sentence.
In addition, we are also including chapter sound files with example sentences and the English meaning, so you use it without referring to the book. Here is a sample of one:

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM THE AUDIO IN OUR REGULAR EBOOK BUNDLE?
This bundle covers the same material as our Learn Japanese with Stories eBook bundle. However, for this Audiobook Bundle, you don't need to refer to any paper material (although a PDF of the material is included). You can listen and learn anywhere and at any time. With our regular eBook bundle edition, the audio is limited to slow and normal speed recordings of the stories.
---
NOTE: This bundle is recommended for upper beginners to intermediate students of Japanese. These audiobooks make listening to native material easier and less intimidating, but it may be too frustrating for true beginners. If you are just starting out, no problem! We have a bundle just for you. Click here to learn about our Beri- Beri- Shoshinsha Beginner's Bundle.

Each audiobook sells on Audible and elsewhere for $6-10. Get the first four audiobooks for only $9.99. Pay once and get lifetime updates (that's 6 future audiobooks!). Future updates and future volumes will be added free of charge even though this bundle's price will increase as we add more.

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.

Learn Japanese through Audio Stories: Shitakiri Suzume
Perfect for beginning and upper beginning students of Japanese. This affordable Japanese reader will help you build your Japanese vocabulary, reading skills, and listening comprehension.
Shitakiri Suzume follows a common theme in Japanese fairy tales: a childless old couple raising a son or daughter. But instead of a human, the story revolves around a sparrow, the loving pet of the old man. Also common with other tales, there is a moral to the story. Don't be greedy!
The second story, Kobutori Jiisan, teaches that a happy disposition often leads to happy conclusions.While beginners to Japanese can get a lot from this, hiragana knowledge is required.
Finally, we invite the reader to contact us with questions or requests for future Japanese readers. You will find our personal email addresses in the book. To your Japanese!
Please note: you will receive a zip file which must be opened with a PC or Mac. Later, you can send the files to your phone or tablet.

Taking the Japanese Language Proficiency Test is a great way to not only assess your Japanese skills but also to give yourself a concrete goal for your learning. I am a firm believer in setting goals. It is the quickest way to make progress.
Unfortunately, with goal-setting, there is usually the problem of maintaining motivation. By paying money and making plans to sit in a test (usually) in a different city; however, you are making a major investment of time and money. There are few pressures in life that can motivate better than time or money. That’s why we always recommend any serious student of Japanese to sign up and study for the JLPT.
Japanese Vocabulary for JLPT N4 covers all the vocabulary needed to pass the Japanese Language Proficiency Test level N4. This is the easiest of the test levels and is suitable for beginners who have mastered hiragana.
Add the 1,200+ MP3s to your MP3 player, iPhone, or computer and listen while studying the book. Compilation MP3 files of each chapter's list are also included. These have each word followed by the example sentence for sequential learning.

¡Lee la fábula japonesa más famosa directamente en japonés!
Cada oración y cada palabra es explicada y definida.
Se incluyen MP3s sin cargo de ambos cuentos. Uno leído a un ritmo normal y otro a un ritmo más lento y fácil de seguir. Encontrarás el enlace para descargar los MP3s en la última página.
SOBRE ESTE LIBRO Este libro contiene varias versiones de los dos cuentos. Primero, tenemos la historia línea por línea con cada palabra de vocabulario definida y explicada. Luego, realizamos un análisis más profundo en los patrones gramaticales encontrados en el cuento. A continuación, puedes leer la historia enteramente en japonés, sin notas en español (se incluyen furigana con los kanjis). Finalmente, incluimos una traducción al español, la cual debería ser evitada hasta que te sientas seguro de haber comprendido la historia, o usarla si te resulta muy difícil descifrarla por ti mismo. Tal vez quieras intentar primero leer el cuento en japonés. O, si eres principiante, puede que te sea mejor revisar antes el vocabulario. Cualquiera sea la forma en que lo hagas, este libro te ofrece varias formas de leer, escuchar y aprender.

READ real Japanese Today!
Are you a beginner to upper beginner level student of Japanese? If so, this reader is for you. Every word is defined and important grammatical patterns are explained in plain English. If you can read hiragana, you are ready for this book.
BONUS! Get FREE Sound Files of each story. Listen while reading. The link to the MP3s is found on the last page.
This bundle is for both volumes of the Frank and the Obaasan saga, a Japanese reader for beginners to upper beginners.
The Stories:While on an intergalactic spy mission, Frank the alien loses control of his spaceship and plummets to Earth. Japan to be precise. Lacking Essential repair materials, Frank must learn the earthling’s language and find earth equivalents of the materials needed to repair his ship.
With only a limited knowledge of Earth ways—and the Japanese language—Frank discovers a number of interesting things, not the least… natto. Join Frank and his new-found buddies in this multi-planetary adventure!
All Japanese kanji characters have furigana (small hiragana over the kanji)
25 complete episodes. 15 from the first volume and 10 from the second.
Each story is presented in real Japanese (with furigana) and with a running gloss which breaks down all vocabulary and grammar points.
Each volume is a complete story arc in which our heroes save the universe.
ENGLISH SUMMARY: Finally, we have included a simple and mostly literal English translation for you to check your understanding (Don’t cheat! Work through the Japanese first!).
Short stories makes reading full Japanese texts possible.
Download the FREE MP3s to listen while you study.
Frank and the Obaasan is a fun (certainly not serious) reader for beginners of Japanese. If you are looking for Japanese reading material that is fairly easy but not written for children, this is a resource for you.
Finally, we invite the reader to contact us with questions or requests for future Japanese readers. You will find our personal email addresses in the book. To your Japanese!

Listen while reading. A link to download the files will be emailed to you immediately after ordering.Read–in Japanese–how the wise and young Hikoichi shows his smarts with these four short stories in Japanese. Yes, you can read real Japanese–even if you are just starting out in Japanese.
All Japanese have furigana
Four full traditional Japanese stories about the legendary Hikoichi.
Every sentence is broken down word-for-word and with an explanation of the grammar.
The full story in Japanese only (without the running gloss) is also provided so you can practice reading without interruption.
Finally, we have included a simple and mostly literal English translation for you to check your understanding (Don’t cheat! Work through the Japanese first!).
Download the FREE MP3s to listen while you study. Includes both normal speed and slow speed readings.
The first story has the lord of the castle testing Hikoichi in a Solomon-esque question–which young lord is the true young lord? The second story shows choosing the first and most favorable isn’t always best. In the end, only Hikoichi can enjoy the cherry blossoms. The third story is about a mysterious, but the living umbrella. Some things are just too good to be true. We wrap things up with Hikoichi’s encounter with a Tengu–a mythical creature whose straw raincoat renders its wearer invisible.
While beginners to Japanese can get a lot from this, hiragana knowledge is required. If you are brand-new to Japanese, we recommend our Beri- Beri- Shoshshinsha digital bundle first.

Kanji de Manga Volume 1
$ 9.99
Paperback. 144 pages. 7 x 5 inches.
-----------------
This award-winning series from Manga University uses original comic artwork to teach readers how to identify and write the most common Japanese kanji ideographs. Volume 1 introduces 80 basic kanji that all Japanese schoolchildren are required to learn before entering the third grade.
"A brilliant idea!" says Ronald A. Morse, retired professor of Japan Studies at UCLA and the University of Las Vegas, Nevada. "Japanese kanji — the written symbols adapted from Chinese — were originally drawings of images from real life. Japanese comic books and cartoons now provide fresh images to help us learn. Kanji de Manga uses today's manga images to make the kanji learning process fun and easy for otaku of all ages. This is a brilliant approach to learning the language."
Each page features its own comic strip, kanji pronunciation guide, stroke order, and English explanations.
Created by Glenn Kardy, editor of several volumes in the popular How to Draw Manga series, including Getting Started, the first book of its kind to be used at major universities in the United States (UCLA) and Japan (Waseda). Artwork by Chihiro Hattori, niece of legendary manga artist Eichi Fukui. Features a foreword by Tomonori Morikawa, Professor of International Studies at Waseda University, Tokyo.

Traduzione dall’Inglese di Andrea Calò
Hai imparato l'hiragana, la struttura delle frasi e la grammatica giapponese di base? Perfetto! Allora questa raccolta di brevi storie giapponesi è per te! Divertiti a conoscere i racconti popolari e la cultura giapponese mentre migliori il tuo vocabolario, i kanji, la grammatica e le tue capacità di ascolto.
E’ ormai provato che il modo più immediato ed efficace per imparare il vocabolario è, molto semplicemente, la lettura! Leggere, leggere, leggere… per imparare! Leggendo, non solo si è più propensi a cogliere le parole che ci interessano, ma le si impara anche nel contesto nel quale esse si trovano: questi libri ti saranno d’aiuto per il raggiungimento di questo fondamentale obiettivo!
Questi pacchetti di libri sono stati pensati per i principianti di livello “base” e “base avanzato” del giapponese, ma anche gli utenti intermedi potrebbero trovarli comunque molto utili. Ti consigliamo di imparare l'hiragana prima di avvicinarti a questi libri, ma abbiamo comunque incluso furigana (i piccoli kana posti sopra i kanji) in modo da essere sicuri di leggere con la pronuncia corretta. Se sei veramente agli inizi e ti avvicini ai sillabari giapponesi per la primissima volta, dai uno sguardo alla nostra raccolta di libri per principianti assoluti all’indirizzo: https://www.thejapanshop.com/products/beri-beri-shoshinsha-beginners-bundle-digital-download
In questi libri troverai diverse versioni per ogni storia:
la storia con ogni parola del vocabolario ben definita e spiegata;
la sezione contenente i principali schemi grammaticali incontrati nella storia;
la storia unicamente in giapponese naturale (kanji con furigana inclusi);
una semplice traduzione in italiano della storia presentata;
Puoi provare a leggere prima la storia in giapponese naturale. Oppure, se sei un principiante assoluto, potrebbe esserti maggiormente d’aiuto esaminare prima il vocabolario: in qualunque modo tu lo faccia, questi libri offrono diversi modi per leggere, ascoltare e imparare.
Sono inclusi, senza alcun costo aggiuntivo, i file MP3 di ogni storia: uno con lettura lenta e semplice da seguire e un secondo con lettura a velocità normale. Troverete i link per il download dei file nelle ultime pagine di ogni libro, qualora non li aveste trovati al momento dell’acquisto.
