Story
Do you find Japanese grammar hard to digest and boring? You’re not alone. Did you know that grammar is the number-one obstacle most new students struggle with when learning Japanese? Japanese grammar is the complete opposite to English, and the hardest part is trying to adapt. Learning language structures, different tenses and conjugation can be too much to handle. Most Japanese books are full of boring linguistic jargon that you will hardly ever use. You can easily get lost and have to spend time going back to revisit topics - only to be confused even more.

Good info.
This book allows them both to happen at the same time. Once I read over these stories a few times, I started to be able to recognize characters and words and it allowed me to naturally learn! I'm a beginner, but I think it would be great for intermediate level learners as well.

the whole book feels authentic to Japanese culture and language learning. I would recommend this storybook to any serious student of the language and connoisseur of the culture. Also, the selected vocabulary including the Kanji is way better than what could be expected from a language textbook like this one. Excellent material!

Great study material for Japanese learners
Full transparency, this book should have been called English stories in Japanese, since they were all clearly written for or about the UK. It is nicely narrated so it’s easy to understand both in Japanese and English for non-natives, but the logic of translation is beyond me: English translation can either come after one sentence of Japanese text or after an entire paragraph of text with up to 10 sentences. Having more consistency would be nice.
Also it has glitches, maybe it’s just on my device, but it feels like some small parts of texts are missing, I tried playing from the start hoping it was something on my side, but it doesn’t seem so.
Overall a great study material, I am so happy to find it

Will there be revisions published?
Currently the English only tracks go straight from Story 3 to Story 5. There is one less track in actuality then shown in the contents in the PDF. ...technically yes the content is there in the Japanese-English version, but for the study method I'm using I was hoping to have it split out separately.

Excellent tool for beginners in Japanese language.
This book is great because the grammar and vocabulary are both to a level which one can read without too much effort while also picking up new words. The english translations are really useful, as are the additional vocab notes. it’s easy to read and there’s not just translations but also vocabulary and some exercises to improve your learning lessons.
