The new version is much nicer and the QR code is so practical.

I bought both the Beri Beri Shoushinsha and Japanese Reader Collection bundles and have slowly been working through the content at my own pace. Everything is laid out in a very straightforward, easy to understand format and the stories are short, fun and practical for learning grammar basics and everyday words. I also love the various print-friendly worksheets for practicing writing, including fun things like crosswords. Thank you Clay and Yumi for making such fantastic learning resources available!

Very good learning aid. Definitely helps solidify what I’m learning from other methods.

These are such great stories and easy to learn. So stress free learning while having fun

It's been going around that stories are the best way to learn a language, and after giving this a try, I have to agree. One of the biggest problems I've always had was being able to understand spoken language, and listening to stories allows you to engage those skills. Secondly it's not just hearing a language, but comprehensible input. These stories are perfectly geared to beginners, and being able to understand them really boosts your confidence so that you can take it to the next level.

I purchased some series of the Japanese learning books with audio materials, and they are really good for beginners with fun and interesting. Also, the website is easy to follow and the price is much cheaper than other sites. I hope more audiobooks and learning guides will be available, especially for modern Japanese language people using today. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn Japanese for work, for making friends, for fun or for travel.

I really like these books. I bought all the readers, 1 - 17. The audio is really well done with a slow and fast version. Great explanations. I highly Recommend these books.

As funny, motivating and interesting as the 1st one!
Great job!...

So many font sizes...and the Japanese font was tiny. I couldn't read them.

I decided to pick these up now that I'm about a third of the way through the wanikani levels and I can't recommend these enough for practice with reading! I've only gotten through a couple of stories so far, but I've already learned so much!

Lots of good content explained in a way that makes it easy to assimilate. What I love about Clay and Yumi is they include free updates. That is a very generous extra.

That this bundle is just as good as bundle 1?
Well, now you do because I just told you.
If you like to bundle 1 then you should try out bundle 2.
Don be a slacker like me!
Keep pumping that brain with learning Iron to get all those GAINZZZ!

I am a retired upper beginner hoping to advance to intermediate eventually but not beyond that. I do not study full time but do it more as a hobby. For the last two years I have really focused on learning [****] including all the Joyo Kanji, more so than studying vocabulary, grammar, audio and reading. I have studied them everyday without fail. Because I now have such a good foundation with the Kanji it is more enjoyable to study the other aspects of the language found in these files, even the reviews of the Kanji.

I really appreciate how all of these bundles including the newly released Stories Bundle 2 help me learn. Every aspect of the learning process is provided right in these text and sound files. I typically study at my computer with the pdf and sound files.

These tools really are useful!

The material is good for beginner Japanese. FYI: when you go to a higher level of Japanese, all reading materials are written in the dictionary form (る), nothing is written in the ます form. If you like this kind of writing style , there is a free NHK news website, called News Web Easy 優しい日本語で書いたニュース. This website also has audio as well. It provides current daily Japanese news and is updated daily. The vocabulary from NHK website is more relevent and will be able to use in every day Japanese (JLPT N3 level) and it is free.

I have just started my journey but this study material is just what I have been looking for. As soon as I progress I will be buying the rest of the study material.

The books are great

Great way to learn. Taking in the language auditorily and visually at the same time in the context of fun stories, makes it easier to understand the meaning of the words and remember them. That's why i love these books. They are well structured and very complete.

I've really enjoyed these books and their structure. Learn some vocab up front, immediately use it learning the story, then check to see if you got everything. I'd definitely recommend this package if you already have some Japanese knowledge, are looking to start reading larger stories, but still need help understanding everything. These are the best readers I can find at that knowledge level.

There are a lot of Kindle formatting problems, but not so bad that I can't enjoy the books. I let the admin know and they sent me a partially fixed version of one of the books, hopefully all of them get updated and fixed sometime soon. :)

Helpful materials

Great help, articulated audio, easy to follow notes. Highly recommended!

Awesome materials, thanks guys!

there's a lot of story, it's a great bundle! This gives motivation to learn. it's really a good idea

I have just started playing with them but they are already a key component of my studies. They have been a nice compliment to my basic grammar studies. It's really nice to see the things I am learning in the context of interesting stories. They are wonderful. Well done.

Title says it all. The download was so worth it, and I got it on sale so the value was great. The permanent price isn't too high anyway, and it was great to save paper and shipping time. The materials I received have been really helpful and I'm making my way through at my own pace. I'm really glad to have found this site!

Very handy

Alles Bestens!

Honestly, if you can get this bundle, and you are interested in learning to read Japanese, grab it before they realize they are giving the store away!

I'm really happy with these books so far! It's great to be able to read fun and engaging stories in Japanese, even with just a beginner-level vocabulary. Highly recommended!
