For Beginners to IntermediatesThis book is ideal for upper beginners, but beginners who have a good grasp of hiragana and the most fundamental aspects of Japanese grammar and sentence structure will find it valuable.  ABOUT NATSUME SOUSEKI夏目漱石 is one of Japan’s most famous authors. He is primarily celebrated for his novels "Kokoro," "Botchan," "I Am a Cat," "Kusamakura," and his unfinished piece "Light and Darkness." Additionally, he was a scholar of English literature and a prolific writer of haiku, kanshi poetry, and fairy tales.WHAT'S INCLUDED? The book features two versions of the biography. Begin with the simplified version, which uses primarily JLPT N5-N4 level vocabulary and grammar. Then, progress to the intermediate version, which presents the same information but in a longer format with more complex grammar and vocabulary. The intermediate biography, initially featured in our Makoto Magazine (MakotoPlus.com), has been significantly revised and expanded for this edition. The book also includes a concise beginner-level version of the essay. Start by reviewing the vocabulary and grammar notes, proceed with the beginner-level essay, and then challenge yourself with the full intermediate essay.

Primero, tenemos la historia línea por línea con cada palabra de vocabulario definida y explicada. Luego, realizamos un análisis más profundo en los patrones gramaticales encontrados en el cuento. A continuación, puedes leer la historia enteramente en japonés, sin notas en español (se incluyen furigana con los kanjis).  Finalmente, incluimos una traducción al español, la cual debería ser evitada hasta que te sientas seguro de haber comprendido la historia, o usarla si te resulta muy difícil descifrarla por ti mismo. Tal vez quieras intentar primero leer el cuento en japonés. O, si eres principiante, puede que te sea mejor revisar antes el vocabulario. Cualquiera sea la forma en que lo hagas, este libro te ofrece varias formas de leer, escuchar y aprender.  Please Note: This is the digital version of the books.

What happens if your mouth is heavy? Or if you use people with your chin? Or when you grind sesame? Find out all about these idioms and much more.

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.”

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.  151 Pages with a 26 page Answer Key ISBN 978-4-7574-1950-6

There are also individual chapter list MP3s which combine the Japanese vocabulary word, the example sentence, and then the English translation. We put this MP3s together so you can listen while driving while walking the dog, or while going through the book.

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.

  This is the book you want if you are studying for the JLPT N3 test and find the listening section difficult. It is very thorough in its 85 pages and includes short explanations in simple Japanese, English, and Chinese. 85 Pages + 46 Page Detachable Answer Key Includes 2 CDs for the listening practice Includes answer key and script for the listening section

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.
