Review: Good book for beginners and those just starting to read without being too simple - I feel like this is a very good short stories collection for early learners. This is pretty easy to read, easier than nhk easy for instance, at least from what I’ve seen so far. If you are just starting to read but you have some basic vocabulary under your belt, you can probably work your way through this. A couple things really help with this. You can see the English translation on a paragraph by paragraph basis, or you can try reading it without the translations if your skill level is a bit higher. You can highlight words to get a quick definition from the kindle dictionary and if you are still confused there is a clear list of key terms in order of introduction, defined in the context you are reading them in. Due to the skill level, stories contain a lot of repeated terms and gives the reader a lot of exposure to language used and by the third or fourth paragraph they should be able to read those repeated words naturally. On the flip side, the sentences are a bit longer and more complex than the basic “This is a pen” type sentences in beginner resources. The book finds a nice happy medium that should be challenging but doable for the early learner. Review: Helpful and interesting. Actually gets used - My son is self studying Japanese and finds this a perfect learning tool. He is in his 30s but has an autism scale thing. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #53,214 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4 in Japanese Literary Criticism (Books) #18 in Japanese Literature #51 in Vocabulary Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,877 Reviews | ## Images ![Japanese Short Stories for Beginners: 20 Captivating Short Stories to Learn Japanese & Grow Your Vocabulary the Fun Way!

Actually gets used *by N***Y on May 21, 2026* My son is self studying Japanese and finds this a perfect learning tool. He is in his 30s but has an autism scale thing. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An indispensible little book *by K***S on March 12, 2021* I really can't stress how happy I am that I got this book. I am self-teaching Japanese, and this short story book has been soooo helpful. It also gave me self-confidence to keep going because I get really excited when I understand a sentence! There is furigana above most of the kanji, the line spacing is wide to help you keep your place, it is written left-to-right, and certain words are in bold with glossary definitions. I am still at N4/N5 level, and this is the right difficulty for me--really hard but not impossible. I have gotten through about five stories at a snail's pace, picking up lots of vocab and understanding more grammar as I go. The stories seem to purposely make use of words you encountered in previous stories to give you practice with them. The only critique I can make is that occasionally a word is in bold but was left out of the glossary. A little annoying, but nothing a Google search can't remedy. I only wish there were more books like this from Lingo Mastery. Like maybe a whole set of increasingly difficult short story collections. ## Frequently Bought Together - Japanese Short Stories for Beginners: 20 Captivating Short Stories to Learn Japanese & Grow Your Vocabulary the Fun Way!
