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.

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.

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.
聞き取り練習しましょう。kikitori renshuu shimashou.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:
