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: 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 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 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!

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

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. 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.   INCREDIBLE VALUE Get 13 eBooks and resource packs for one low price and all with sound files.  Pay once and get lifetime updates including updates and supplementary material.   WHAT’S INCLUDED? Introduction to Japanese [Exclusive to this bundle] Hiragana, the Basics of Japanese * Hiragana Worksheets [Exclusive to this bundle] Katakana, the Basics of Japanese 100 Grammar Points 100 Essential Kanji  Inazuma 1: About Japanese Pronouns Frank & the Obaasan Volume 1 [a beginning reader] Frank & the Obaasan Volume 2 [a beginning reader]  101 Japanese Set Phrases & Power Words [Now includes Anki flashcard deck] Hiragana Readers Yondemiyo hiragana and N5 kanji readers [35 are available now--many more to come soon!] NEW! MakotoMagazine #1* MakotoMagazine #19* Japanese Sentences: Beginning Phrases  * All of the above are exclusive to this bundle except the two MakotoMagazine issues (which are also found in the value bundles Volume 1 and Volume 4) and The Hiragana, the Basics of Japanese book (which is also in our Japanese Reader Collection). 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   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.  There are over two dozen of these stories. And that's just one section of Beri- Beri- Shoshinsha!   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. :)   Buy this bundle now, Pay once and get lifetime updates including future contents and supplementary material.   Not a beginner?

With only a limited knowledge of Earth ways—and the Japanese language—Frank discovers a number of interesting things, not the least… natto. Join Frank and his new-found buddies in this multi-planetary adventure! All Japanese kanji characters have furigana (small hiragana over the kanji) 25 complete episodes. 15 from the first volume and 10 from the second. Each story is presented in real Japanese (with furigana) and with a running gloss which breaks down all vocabulary and grammar points. Each volume is a complete story arc in which our heroes save the universe.

Short stories makes reading full Japanese texts possible. Download the FREE MP3s to listen while you study. Frank and the Obaasan is a fun (certainly not serious) reader for beginners of Japanese.

The second story, Kobutori Jiisan, teaches that a happy disposition often leads to happy conclusions.While beginners to Japanese can get a lot from this, hiragana knowledge is required.

Just how do I say "I" in Japanese?   Watashi? Watakushi? Ore? Boku? Ora? Sessha?   Yes. All of the above, and there are more.   This quick-and-to-the-point lesson, which includes free MP3s of all the examples and words, covers the basics and beyond of Japanese pronouns and honorifics. If you are a beginner and pronouns and honorifics confuse you, this book is for you.   Honorifics are words like san, sama, sensei, and senpai which convey esteem or respect for someone's position or rank. Even the pronouns are not simple. Gender, status, and familiarity all play a part in choosing your "Mr." or "Miss."   This book helps demystify Japanese pronouns and honorifics.   Are you a beginner? Great! Click add to cart to get started now.   -- Each book in the Inazuma Series of Japanese lessons focuses on a very narrow topic, giving you both the essential information upfront and the spice of nonessential but fun information following.    It is like eating your vegetables with ketchup.

The JLPT measures Japanese proficiency through exams conducted twice a year in some countries. While taking the test isn't required to benefit from this bundle, it's an ideal tool for beginners who've learned hiragana and some basic grammar. Who is this for? For those ready to take on level N5 of the JLPT or those fairly new to the Japanese language, the JLPT N5 bundle is the perfect digital download! For absolute beginners, however, we recommend the Beri-Beri-Shoshinsha bundle instead. Do I need to take the test? Not at all. The JLPT is a great way to measure your ability and give you a goal to focus on, but many of our customers who purchase this bundle do so simply because it lays out beginner-level material in an organized manner. What does it include? This amazing FIVE-ebook bundle has everything you need to ace the JLPT N5 test!  Included are Vocab, Grammar, Reading, and Kanji sections along with sound files, PDFs, ePubs, and - in some books - Anki flashcard decks.
