    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 explanation
    2. 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.

    eBook Series Japanese Phrases

    Alrighty - I got this eBook series for one main reason and that is to use as a tool to improve my speech cadence and intonation. I’m using the audio primarily to shadow the sentences. The approach i use is to import the audio of each sentence into a program where I can create an extended audio file that has all 30 sentences doubled back to back. Each book comes out about 10 minutes in length. The program I use allows me to slow down the audio if I want and I can record myself speaking with the recordings to check my intonation. It’s been very useful. Also, the .pdf file for the book allowed me to quickly copy out the text of the sentences and create a sentence list to read along with the audio. Since I’m trying to wean myself off of looking at furigana this has been helpful for kanji recognition. Very happy with this series.

    That's great! If you don't mind me asking, what program are you using? That sounds like a great idea.

    Excited!!!!

    Finally, I have all the beginner bundles!!! I listen to the podcast during my daily walks. This will make it a lot easier to study the sentences and kanji. And I'm sure it will be as awesome as the other ones.
    ありがとうございました。鵜疲れさまでした。

    Fantastic!

    Hi Clay and Yumi - just wanted to write here that I really like the Mike's diary stories (and the other bite sized stories too). They are perfect for my level and allow you to experience success quickly. They are interesting too. Thank you! I strongly recommend this bundle for anyone, especially at a beginner / upper beginner level. Fantastic.

    That's great to hear! I will work on more beginner-level stories soon.
