The best audiobooks for learning Japanese

The best audiobooks for learning Japanese

This post was originally published on Audible.com.

Japanese is actually a fun and fascinating language to learn, and the more you learn about the language, the better you can understand and appreciate Japanese culture. Learning Japanese can open up a whole new world—all you have to do is get through that first hurdle of fearing a language that seems so different from your native language. From there, learning Japanese is a joy!

What's the best way to approach learning Japanese? Audiobooks, of course! Listening to learn Japanese can be a very effective way to immerse yourself in a new language. Another bonus: audiobooks are super convenient. No matter how busy you are on any given day, it's easy to find the time to throw on a Japanese audiobook and just allow yourself to be immersed in the language and its cadence. While you might not pick up every single nuance of the pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, consistent listening will help you pick up the information faster than if you were just intermittently reading a textbook or attending a weekly class. And when you make listening to Japanese audiobooks an everyday habit, you'll continually become more comfortable with and fluent in the language.  

Because everyone has a different way of learning, there are several styles of Japanese language lessons included on this list. And whether you’re just beginning to learn Japanese or you’re an advanced speaker seeking to expand your vocabulary, there’s an audiobook on this list that will suit your learning level and needs.
