Comprehensible input is the most effective way to get fluent in Japanese. In fact, it works for any language. In practice this means, reading and listening as much as you can. If you are in the early stages, most things will be too hard for you to understand. That is why I created some easy beginner friendly practice material for reading and listening. It is a classic Japanese myth. It comes as text and audio, so you can choose to read it, or listen and follow along. You can turn on furigana, or click on the words to get instant translations and more information on the kanji. You can find a lot more audio content on our website by clicking here. If you prefer an Android or iOS app, you can find the download links on our landing page or at the bottom of the page.

Enjoy!
