About this listen

Are you currently learning the Japanese language and struggling to find some good material?

This book was written with the sole purpose of filling the gap in engaging Japanese material for native English speakers learning the language.

Did you know that stories are a fantastic way to learn a language? This is because learning through stories gives the student context for the words and phrases that they are using. This means that they will later be confident enough to use the same terms or vocabulary for themselves, as they know which context they come in.

Not only that, but what is better than a fun and captivating story? Without a doubt, this is the most fun way to learn a language. Unlike sitting in a weekend class staring at workbook exercises, stories have characters, a plot, conflict, and a resolution. Whether fiction or not, learning vocabulary through stories is a proven concept that has stood the test of time.

This book has seven Japanese stories. Each story has an interesting and engaging storyline that allows you to understand the Japanese culture better. Each story is also translated into English and has a vocabulary list that has been put into a nice table. This has been done to help you to memorize the vocabulary from each story.

So, what are you waiting for? Pick up your copy of Short Japanese Stories for Language Learners and level up your Japanese language skills now!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Overall, a good resource to use!

I wouldn’t say this is for complete beginners (maybe A2 level onwards) I’m sure even advanced learners can benefit from this as well!

Almost perfect!

A fantastic learning resource. The stories are fun and have a great storyline. I would have preferred if each story had some questions, this would have strengthen my understanding of the stories better.

Very Helpful And Entertaining

I've been studying Japanese for quite a while. My hope is to go to the country sometime. When that will be? I don't know, but I always look at the time before that happens to brush up on the language for obvious reasons. This was a very helpful and entertaining book to listen to. It helped me to grow and expand my vocabulary through a series of interesting and entertaining short stories. This will make a great supplement for the various means that I use in teaching myself the Japanese language.

A great book for learners

This book is fantastic If you have a little experience with the Japanese language, the great thing is that the stories are narrated very slowly so its easy to keep up.

Great variety of stories!

If you can already read and write Japanese you will love this book as each story is based around a different theme so there is plenty of vocabulary to pick up here. I also like how the author also has some expressions in there, they particularly help with conversing.

Very helpful

This is a great audio book for anyone who knows nothing about speaking japaneese, after listening several times, I feel that I have a basic understanding of the language and I also have a very basic vocabulary.
