Publisher's summary

Want to expand your Japanese vocabulary with almost no effort? Then keep reading.

Are you planning a trip to Asia? Or sharpening your skills for work? Just press play on this audiobook when you’re sleeping, meditating, or doing chores around the house.

Learn new vocabulary while actively listening or passively while you’re doing other things.

This audiobook contains:

  • More than 1,000 common Japanese words and phrases
  • All original music (composed and performed by South African DJ and producer Spirante Beat), specifically to relax your mind

I'm sure your first question is: Can you actually learn a foreign language while you’re asleep? Well, according to a Swiss research study in 2014, the answer is unassailably yes! In this study, a group of German speakers was given a list of unfamiliar Dutch words to study. Half were instructed to get some sleep while they listened to long lists of Dutch words and translations. The other half was instructed to stay awake. Four hours later, they were tested, and the group that listened while they slept had significantly higher recall. The study concluded that people can indeed absorb new information passively during non-REM sleep—which is the deep sleep we get in the first few hours of the night.

This audiobook is divided into six chapters, each with different kinds of vocabulary, and with different music. Choose a different chapter each night, or loop the audiobook to have a continuous stream. Some listeners—those with more experience with the foreign language—have reported that these recordings allow them to dream in that language!

Sit back, relax, enjoy, and learn!

Makes learning easy

This audiobook makes learning Japanese very easy. I really like that it is organized by chapters in a way that I can go right to the words I want to study. I appreciate the audio format and learning while I sleep is really cool too. Simple. Fun. Learn while you sleep, in the car, on a walk, learn from anywhere.

A Great Educational Tool

This was an easy and fulfilling experience. I fully intend to go back practice until I get it down. I recommend this to anyone interested in learning Japanese or looking for good meditation music.

Subconsciously learned some Japanese.

I loved learning Japanese while I slept. I woke up and I was surprised to find that quite a few Japanese words were actually stuck in my head. I sat down at the table for breakfast, and I immediately knew that I was sitting at a "teburu"

Terrific

Japanese is one of the most difficult languages to learn as a native English speaker. If you're a beginner like me, this audiobook is your first step towards mastering the language. The narration is clear and easy to follow. I suggest you give it a try.

Worth a shot.

I'm sooo glad I gave this shot because it's absolutely changed my life! I can't believe how easy it was to learn a new language without a lot of effort. I had it playing all throughout my day and it made me want to visit Japan!

Great prep for a trip.

I’m going to Japan in a few months, and this is totally helping me get ready. I love the way it’s set up in chapters - a smart way to learn!

It didn't even feel like I was learning.

All I had to do was listen to this book while I was sleeping, and I was able to learn words and phrases that I wouldn't have otherwise learned. If you're like me and lazy, then this audiobook is perfect for you.

A surprise for my SO!

My significant other is Japanese and I wanted to learn as a surprise for our future visit! I learned quickly with this audiobook and can't wait to see her face when I tell her, IN Japanese!

Decent enough.

wost case you can listen to this while you're awake and pick up words that way if you're sceptical about it working in your sleep like I am. The plus side is hearing how the words are pronounced by a pro so you get used to them.
