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.

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.

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?
