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?

Everything You Need to Go from Zero to JLPT N5 Ready The Super Bundle Over $125 of eBooks and Resources for $49 (USD) Save $86 vs buying everything separately at retail. The complete beginner path: start at zero, finish ready for the JLPT N5 exam. This Super Bundle pairs our two most popular beginner bundles into one package. Please note: the price is $49 USD, but the system may show the price in your local currency.  Beri- Beri- Shoshinsha → (Literally "very very beginner.") The foundation. Walks you from hiragana through basic grammar — and crucially includes our full library of beginner graded readers. Easy stories to actually practice what you learn, instead of drilling sentence patterns into a notebook and hoping they stick. JLPT N5 → Takes those fundamentals and sharpens them. Each book focuses on one slice of the test — grammar, vocabulary, kanji, listening, reading — so you can target weak spots before you sit. And even if you don't plan to take the JLPT, its framework is one of the cleanest ways to measure real progress at the beginner level. (A test on the calendar is a motivator that flashcards just aren't.) About the overlap. The grammar and kanji books in each bundle cover similar ground — about 60% of the grammar topics and 80% of the kanji appear in both. But the books are built for different purposes: the Beri- Beri- versions teach the language as you'll actually use it, organized by what's useful in real life; the JLPT N5 versions teach you for the test, organized by what the exam asks and how. Same underlying material, two different angles — exactly what a serious learner wants if they care about both fluency and certification. What Customers Are Saying 208 reviews across the two component bundles — 99% positive ★★★★★ "The printable practice sheets for Hiragana and Katakana are worth the package purchase price by themselves." James Schmitt · Beri- Beri- Shoshinsha ★★★★★ "A great set of study materials. I really like that it includes Anki flashcards. I've been using this bundle after finishing the Genki textbook." Anna Glaid · Batumi, GE · JLPT N5 Bundle ★★★★★ "Every sentence is broken down and explained in easy steps that helps the reader understand the structure of Japanese." M.J. · London, GB · Beri- Beri- Shoshinsha ★★★★★ "Excellent material. I'm reviewing the kanji level 5 reading practice. I am very happy with the results. Motivated to go on." Michael LE GRAND · Rebecq, BE · JLPT N5 Bundle ★★★★★ "The worksheets are super helpful for practicing writing and the information is easy to follow. I don't feel overwhelmed with this." Teddy · Beri- Beri- Shoshinsha Reviews above are from the two component bundles. The Complete Beginner Bundle is a newer SKU — its own reviews are still rolling in. Best For Total beginners who want both a structured curriculum AND the reading practice to make it stick Anyone planning to sit for the JLPT N5 — or who wants a real goal to aim at Self-studiers tired of stitching together a study plan from scattered free sources What's Included 23+ eBooks covering hiragana, katakana, grammar, vocabulary, kanji, and reading practice 2,000+ MP3 audio files for listening and pronunciation training Anki decks for spaced-repetition vocabulary and kanji study Sentence Explorer integration for contextual practice (all JLPT N5 books and the Yonde Miyo~ readers in Beri- Beri- Shoshinsha) Complete hiragana & katakana mastery materials Structured grammar and vocabulary progression at the N5 level Kanji and reading practice targeted at JLPT N5 Who Is This For? This bundle is built for absolute beginners with no prior Japanese knowledge, and for pre-N5 learners who want a comprehensive, structured foundation before tackling the JLPT N5 exam. Why Bundle? The individual books in these two bundles would cost $135.76 at Amazon retail. Even the two standalone bundles together run $58. This Super Bundle gives you everything for $49 — the deepest discount we offer on a complete beginner curriculum, with both real-life fluency and JLPT certification covered. All materials are delivered as digital downloads — start learning immediately after purchase.
