WHO IS THIS FOR?
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!

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? Want even more beginner power?
Pair it with our JLPT N5 Bundle and save 15% on both — together they cover everything a beginner needs to build a rock-solid Japanese foundation.
