Excellent material. I'm reviewing the kanji level 5 reading practice. I'am very happy with the results. Motivated to go on.

Fun to use and not intimidating. You can slowly immerse yourself in learning and not get frustrated. I'm glad it was recommended to me.

Excellent support for preparing the NLPT 5.

Thank you so much for all the work you have done. It is very helpful and I am really enjoying every piece of it as well as the app!! I am really gratefull!!

Thank you for helping me with a difficult exam!

This is a lot of *helpful* content for a beginner like me. I am especially thankful that there is an japanese - german version of the anki deck included. Tolle Arbeit!

I have only read one story and at my age, 74 years, it’s hard to keep things in my mind, but having this little book allows me to read the thing over and over again until I got it perfect. This is exactly what I needed.

I would recommend thejapanshop.com, thejapanesepage.com, and makotoplus.com, all owned and run by Clay and Yumi Boutwell and their son, and have taken a lot of pains to make their site both extremely useful for both brand new Japanese learners and high level Japanese learners.
There is a massive abundance of learning and enjoyment materials in many different subjects no matter what level you are at, whether a complete noob or an experienced or even native speaker and reader.
Their customer PR is most excellent and I give it a 10 out of 5 rating.

I am still amazed by the quality of the content and the quantity in this bundle.
I love that you get epub files. I love reading the short stories in bed every night.
This was without a doubt the best purchase in my Japanese learning journey!

I bought the shirt before my trip to Japan. I wore it when visiting the Oktoberfest in Kanazawa today. It only took a few minutes and a family waved me to their table and started a conversation, exactly what I intended.

The material is good and it is longer that most T-shirts, which is good for tall people like me. I can only recommend it :)

I recently started this course and I have already learned to read hiragana and katakana! The books are very detailed and the mp3 files help with pronunciation. If you’re new to Japanese I highly recommend this course.

I'm a tall person and many t-shirts are so short that when I lift my arms up, my belly shows. Not with this t-shirt! Finally I don't have to worry about the t-shirt untucking itself from my pants when I move.

Other than that, it it a good quality print and fits well!

I found it incredibly helpful in preparing for the exam. The materials were well-organized and easy to follow. I especially appreciated the clear explanations, example sentences, and practice exercises that reinforced each topic. The vocabulary and kanji lists were also very thorough.

Whether you're just starting your Japanese learning journey or need a structured review for the N5 level, I highly recommend this bundle. It really helped boost my confidence and understanding of the basics.

I won't tell you how many languages I've studied from high school and university on into old age, but I will say these are among the best readers I've seen in any language. They convey grammar concepts and vocabulary while being amusing to read.

All they need is a section in the back where one could look up stroke order diagrams for the Kanji 🥲

The jlpt grammar bundle explains the nuances of Japanese in far greater clarity than language apps.great stuff, worth every penny

Many thanks for this great paper "shikishi". We love it

Great tshirt. My only comment is that I would like the hiragana to be a little smaller.

Just as described and seen in the pictures!

Excellent learning material for the money, and plenty in abundance as well. Thank you Clay & Yumi for making such educational material available.

I'm really happy with my purchase. It's easy to use for beginners like me. Can't wait to learn Japanese for JLPT N5 so I can order JLPT N4 Bundle.
ありがとうございました

I'm really enjoying the way the Japanese language has been explained in each of these books. Easy to understand and remember! Very happy.

I had already some basic knowledge in Japanese (because I was always into japanese content) and I have improved a lot thanks to Beri- Beri- Shoshinsha!
I purchased this bundle a month ago but I thought I'd post my review earlier that I anticipated~
I'm half into the 100grammar (I have yet to check the rest of the books in this bundle) and I practice some kanji (from the Kanji100) in my free time. This language is pure art and I'm very well into arts and crafts so as a beginner they feel like a piece of cake to me! I am also greek and I noticed japanese have few common things with greek; we pronounce words exactly as we see them, we just replace the suffix of words to direct time and to adress people (most of the times) and we don't need either a plethora of articles or other particles to produce a full meaning of a phrase/sentence - which helps me a lot in undestarding!
All in all, in combination with the knowledge I already had and Beri Beri Shoshinsha, I can already read and undestand basic japanese in just a month~!

Lastly I'd like to thank Clay & Yumi for their assistance and the love they poured into makind these books~!

And if any potential buyers are reading my review, I'd like to let you know that these books provide a thorough explanation and a large variety of examples to assist into learning the correct pronunciations (with addional sound files for everything)!

Perfect follow up
Thank you

Another great set of readers. I've enjoyed them no end.

Yeah, and learned a lot, too.

My only gripes? I can't get the Anki Decks to work with my copy of Anki. Probably the unzipped files are in the wrong folder. I'll work on it some more.

Also, I wish you had an interactive stroke order tutorial along with the Kanji list. Maybe in the next revision?

FYI I use your material on my Kindle Fire, which is of course an Android tablet. Works a charm, except for the Anki decks.

Amazing deal
