If you're a total Beginner of Japanese

We highly recommend our Beri-Beri Shoshinsha Bundle, a step-by-step, frustration-free introduction to reading and writing Japanese (N5 level).

Format: Purely a digital download bundle (PDFs, ePubs, MP3s [slow and normal speed], Anki decks)

Designed for people who have zero experience with Japanese and need to learn the basic writing systems (Hiragana/Katakana/Basic Kanji), an individuals who have tried to learn Japanese multiple times but stalled or lost momentum, and students actively preparing for the lowest level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test.

This bundle is perfect for absolute beginners. It's thorough without being wordy, giving you exactly enough information to understand the concepts without overloading you with information.
