This bundle includes FIVE full-length audiobooks. These are the audiobook versions of our Learn Japanese with Stories bundle found here. Eventually, this bundle will include all 10 books as audiobooks. Buy the bundle now and get future audiobooks free.   Sample of the line-by-line feature: iamclayb · Inch-high Samurai Line-by-line sample    Runtime: Audiobook 1: Hikoichi (4 stories): Runtime: 3:12:00 (three hours) Audiobook 2: Momotaro & Tortoise and the Hare: Runtime: 00:56:41 Audiobook 3: Inch-high Samurai & Kaguya-hime, the Moon Princess: Runtime: 1:42:45 Audiobook 4: The Mouse Bride & Ikkyuu-san: Runtime: 44:08 Audiobook 5: Shitakiri Suzume & Kobutori-jiisan: Runtime: 1:06:35 --- 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 a discounted price. Pay once and get lifetime updates (that includes 5 more 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.     聞き取り練習しましょう。Let's practice listening comprehension.   Each audiobook presents each story in four ways: Story read slowly Story read line-by-line with each vocabulary word defined in English Story read normal speed English summary   You'll receive a download link immediately after purchase. If you want to practice a particular section, you'll get MP3s for each section of every story. If you just want to drop it into your phone or audio player as one big audiobook, you'll also find a single MP3 for each book. A PDF of each book is also provided (but not required.)   This video is the first story in the first volume (which contains four complete stories). While the format isn't exactly the same as the audiobook version, it is very close:   Learn Japanese with Stories Audiobook Version Here’s a quick preview of the valuable information you can get now—INSTANT GRATIFICATION!

Listen to the most famous and interesting Japanese tales in real Japanese! Yes, you can understand real Japanese today with these stories. We don't, however, recommend this for true beginners.  Every single line and every word are explained and defined audibly. You don't need the written material, but a PDF of the book is included.

Build your Japanese vocabulary, understand new grammatical patterns, improve your listening skills, and hone in your pronunciation by shadowing after the speaker.

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.  Please Note: This is the digital version of the books.
