Great way to get started

I ordered the book, then discovered I could get the same content for free by getting other content. Downloading the pdf was great so i could have practice papers and not have to use the book. However the book is much smaller and easier to keep in my bag to study whenever I can. So much of the content in JapanShop relies on the ability to recognize basic words and sentences it only made sense to concentrate on Hiragana first then move on to others.

I'm glad you still got some use out of the paperback!

Yes, I believe concentrating on hiragana and katakana first is worth the time. Japanese is hard to separate from the written language and therefore mastering kana early on will spare you trouble down the road. I hope the book helps! Let us know if you have any questions.

Hello,
thank you for taking the time very sorry for inconvenience.
if i purchased the Beri Beri digital package do I have to purchase physical books separately?

The Japan Shop

If you would like paperbacks, then yes, they are sold separately from the digital bundle. If you do buy a paperback, you'll also get the digital files for that paperback.

The Beri- Beri- Shoshinsha bundle contains both books (which are available in paperback here https://www.thejapanshop.com/collections/clay-and-yumi-paperbacks or on Amazon--search for "Clay Yumi Boutwell") and also exclusive PDF worksheets not found in print.

But most of our digital bundles other than Beri- Beri- Shoshinsha can be replicated by buying the paperbacks--we just don't have any physical bundles for sale.

Please take a look and let me know if you have any questions.
