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 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!
