Learning Japanese? Try this!

By Leaf on February 5, 2015

THIS is what I needed! I really am striving to learn the language, and when you are faced with reading, it is extremely difficult compared to speaking the language. This is for the ultimate beginner-except you NEED to know your hiragana!!! Kanji is included so you aren't bogged down with endless kana, but don't worry if you can't read kanji, there is furigana!

You get 6 very short stories-somewhere around 13 pages each-and they are thin, portable and not too intimidating. The books are bright and colorful, and it's easy to understand most of it purely from context if your vocabulary is poor. The listed recommendations to succeed with these readers is listed on the back: For 0, you should know around 350 vocab and around 400 sentences. I don't use Anki, have only started to study with Genki and at most can read some Yotsubato and Chi's Sweet Home-but not the whole thing. THIS is what I needed.

Since I have listened to a lot of music, seen anime and j-dramas, I was able to recognize a lot of the words and since this is very basic Japanese, it was very easy.I can read hiragana and some kanji, but the most difficulty I had was when I didn't know some words. A dictionary like Denshi Jisho is recommended if you need to look up a word.

The stories: Sakura, Daizu-about Soybeans, A dad late for work, Ichiro going to school, Yumi and Maria, and the last is about your friendly policeman, Ryou-san, I really enjoyed the last one personally.

The CD: can play on your computer. Don't know about the car, but I will update this review when I found out. The readers are native Japanese, and switches between a woman, and a man, and sometimes an old lady or little girl and boy depending on the story. Ryou-san in book 6 spoke very fast compared to the other readers.Read more ›

Stop memorizing and start reading...

By ewomack TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on January 12, 2016

Language learning requires context. Words that meander around in the cortex without any context or potential use will eventually vaporize from memory. What a waste of neurons. Rather than rote memorization of vocabulary and prosiac grammar rules, why not read stories? A slew of easy reader books have recently saturated the market in just about every language imaginable, even Greenlandic. Those that strive for maximum polyglot points or those wanting to learn a language until they spill over with fluency should load up on these amazing resources. For Japanese, one of the best of these series is produced by Ask Digital. The entire set altogether comprises 5 levels with 2 volumes in each level. Each volume contains 5-6 short books that gradually increase in difficulty. Each level then builds on the last one and works through more complicated and sophisticated grammar and vocabulary. Readers will find themselves continually pulled forward by the stories and the artwork. Not to mention that all of the time spent in the more boring parts of learning finally pays off. This is easy Japanese, but it is real Japanese.

Not long ago, this series began with level 1 and worked up to level 4. Some inspired person then decided to tack on a prequel of sorts and for lack of an ordinal number greater than 0 and less than 1, the level simply became level 0. The next prequel, should one appear, will have to go decimal or negative. Those who have completed level 1 and desire more Japanese practice may not notice an enormous difference in the difficulty between level 1 and level 0. After all, a series much easier than the already fairly easy level 1 would probably sink beneath "Dick and Jane" and guttural noises. So level 0 feels like an extension of level 1.Read more ›

The series is good in terms of providing culturally relevant material

This series is a little on the skimpy side for the price. I went through the six booklets way too quickly and wanted more. I know the jlpt n5 vocabulary so the level was about right and I didn't need a dictionary. The series is good in terms of providing culturally relevant material.
