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.

Shitakiri Suzume follows a common theme in Japanese fairy tales: a childless old couple raising a son or daughter. But instead of a human, the story revolves around a sparrow, the loving pet of the old man. Also common with other tales, there is a moral to the story. Don't be greedy!
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.
Finally, we invite the reader to contact us with questions or requests for future Japanese readers. You will find our personal email addresses in the book. To your Japanese!

Once one zooms beyond the basics of a language, idiomatic expressions, proverbs, and slang can provide the spice to keep motivation up and progress going forward.
This book will introduce 101 of the most common Japanese idioms.
We are including at no extra charge MP3s for all the examples found in this book. Create playlists to study on the go or burn the sound files to a CD to listen at home. The download link is found on the last page. We believe the best way to learn vocabulary–by far–is to study words within their proper context. Every idiom is followed by an example sentence and a paragraph or two explaining the context and usage.
Each idiom will have three sound files associated with it. The MP3s are all recorded by native voice actors and actresses. The first sound file is the idiom itself. The second is the example sentence. The third sound file has the idiom, an English translation, the idiom repeated slowly, and the example sentence with translation. Try to mimic the Japanese speakers in sound and presentation. We highly recommend knowing hiragana before tackling this book. Every kanji here has furigana (small hiragana) over it to aid reading. If you do not yet know hiragana, please check out our Hiragana book: “Hiragana, the Basics of Japanese.”

Gokaku Dekiru JLPT N3 with CDs
$ 33.00
This book practices all parts of the JLPT N3 level. It includes two CDs for the listening section. This is a practice test book and not necessarily a study guide. It doesn't have a lot of explanation (it does have some hints), but it is great for determining your strengths and weaknesses and that will help you prepare for the test. The best thing is it will provide a lot of practice for you.

Nihongo Notes Vol. 1: Language and Culture
$ 25.50
$ 25.50
It's difficult to suggest a level for this book. Each article is written both in Japanese and in English (with romaji). So, definitely beginners could read and learn a lot, but I think the topics covered are more for the upper beginner level.
Using simple, but real-world conversations, the authors take one neglected--but certainly important--grammatical or cultural point.
As you can see with the scans, the right page is in Japanese and the left is in English with romaji. This is certainly nice if you have a Japanese tutor. Your tutor/teacher can read the Japanese and explain any nuance not mentioned in the book.

Taking the Japanese Language Proficiency Test is a great way to not only assess your Japanese skills but also to give yourself a concrete goal for your learning. I am a firm believer in setting goals. It is the quickest way to make progress.
Unfortunately, with goal-setting, there is usually the problem of maintaining motivation. By paying money and making plans to sit in a test (usually) in a different city; however, you are making a major investment of time and money. There are few pressures in life that can motivate better than time or money. That’s why we always recommend any serious student of Japanese to sign up and study for the JLPT.
Japanese Vocabulary for JLPT N4 covers all the vocabulary needed to pass the Japanese Language Proficiency Test level N4. This is the easiest of the test levels and is suitable for beginners who have mastered hiragana.
Add the 1,200+ MP3s to your MP3 player, iPhone, or computer and listen while studying the book. Compilation MP3 files of each chapter's list are also included. These have each word followed by the example sentence for sequential learning.
