For a limited time, you will get this bundle for a very low price. We will increase its price when we add more content to it. But if you get this now, future content will be FREE FOREVER. ➡️ How to read the eBooks in your bundle? You may need to follow the steps outlined in our eBook guide   If you are a beginner looking for useful material to read, this is for you. WHO IS THIS FOR? Beginners who have learned hiragana. The level of this bundle is somewhere between our (total beginner-level) Beri- Beri- Shoshinsha and our more advance readers such as Learn Japanese with Stories.     INCREDIBLE VALUE We are launching this new bundle with only a few books, but it will eventually have ten volumes.  Pay once and get lifetime updates including updates and supplementary material.   WHAT’S INCLUDED? Learn Japanese with Stories: Mike's Diary Beginning Japanese Phrases Book 1: Podcast episodes 1-30 Beginning Japanese Phrases Book 2: Podcast episodes 31-60 Beginning Japanese Phrases Book 2: Podcast episodes 61-90 All titles include sound files!   ABOUT THE TITLES Learn Japanese with Stories: Mike's Diary If you have learned hiragana and you understand (very) basic Japanese sentence structure, you are ready for this series. Instead of learning isolated vocabulary (no fun!), reading real Japanese is a great way to learn vocabulary and kanji in context. For the beginner, however, native reading material is too much of a challenge. Our Learn Japanese with Stories for Beginners series enables even beginners to truly enjoy reading natural Japanese. The early stories use basic vocabulary, beginner-level grammar, and simplified Japanese sentence structures. As you progress, earlier concepts build into more complex grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structures. Each story is presented in several ways.1. The story with spaces and complete vocabulary and explanation2. The story in full Japanese (without spaces, but with furigana—the small hiragana—over kanji)3. The story in English to cement understanding This is followed by five important kanji found in the story. There are only five kanji here, so spend some time familiarizing yourself with them.   Beginning Japanese Phrases Book 1 - 3 This series is based on a weekly podcast we produce called (unimaginatively) Beginning Japanese Phrases. See here: https://thejapanesepage.com/beginning-japanese-phrases-podcast-and-videos/ As we do in the podcast, we'll introduce one useful Japanese word, phrase, or grammatical function. Then we'll breakdown an example sentence using that word within a common context.Each example sentence will include a literal and more natural translation as well as all the vocabulary and grammar defined and explained. We are including ro-maji at the end, but we highly recommend avoiding that and work through the Japanese instead.   Buy this bundle now and get ALL future volumes in this series FREE   Not a beginner?

For beginners of Japanese--even (especially) those just starting out 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. :) Start Your Japanese Learning Journey Today Buy this bundle now, pay once and get lifetime updates including future contents and supplementary material.
