JOKES IN JAPANESE
Dad jokes. Every culture has them, but Japanese takes these groan-worthy yet clever puns to an all new level.
The Japanese language has fewer sounds than most languages which happily results in a large number of homophones. This makes creating puns and wordplay fairly easy. Not too fond of oyaji gyagu? Don't worry. We will also cover fun riddles and jokes that won't make Dad even grin.
NINJA PENGUIN
Follow the flightless ninja from Okinawa to Hokkaido. As he learns about Japanese geography, so will you.
HAIKU
Covers twenty famous haiku by the most famous Japanese poets. Learn vocabulary, haiku terminology, and the culture behind these pithy works of art.
HAIKU BASHO
Learn twenty of Matsuo Basho's most famous haiku. Includes commentary on each haiku as well as a complete vocabulary breakdown. Scan the QR code to instantly play the recording. Updated with more explanation and commentary.
HAIKU MASAOKA SHIKI
Learn twenty of Masaoka Shiki's most famous haiku. Includes commentary on each haiku as well as a complete vocabulary breakdown. Scan the QR code to instantly play the recording. Masaoka Shiki was a remarkable poet who revitalized haiku in the late 19th century. Though he died tragically young at just 34, Shiki left behind an incredible legacy of over 20,000 haiku.
HAIKU KOBAYASHI ISSA
Kobayashi Issa (1763-1828) was a renowned Edo-period haiku poet known for his deeply personal and empathetic style. His haiku often highlighted the struggles and beauty of everyday life, with a focus on small creatures and nature, infused with humor and irony. Though he faced many personal hardships, Issa is now celebrated as one of Japan’s greatest haiku masters, alongside Basho, Buson, and Shiki.
KARATE JAPANESE
A crash course on 300 essential and common terms you may hear in the martial arts.
JAPANESE NAMES
In this book, we'll thoroughly study the top 100 family and over a hundred given names (male and female) through kanji studies, worksheets, and Anki flashcard decks.

For beginners of Japanese--even (especially) those just starting out
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. And lastly, the story is presented again without furigana. Oh, and every word and grammatical pattern is defined and explained.
There are over two dozen of these stories. And that's just one section of Beri- Beri- Shoshinsha!
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. :)
