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."

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?
