Learn Japanese language while learning about Japan. The Unique New Study Method!
The audio version of Hiragana Times, called “Insight into Japan,” is now available.
Users can listen to bilingual audio recordings of a selection of Hiragana Times’ articles on their PC, iPod or other mobile device, and study Japanese/English at the same time as they learn about Japan!

Containing a selection of interesting articles, the “Insight into Japan,” audio textbook has been compiled based on the long-selling books: “Secrets of the Japanese” and “Rules of the Japanese” (both written by Hiragana Times editor-in-chief, HASEGAWA Katsuyuki). These books have been highly regarded in many countries, translated into Chinese, Korean, Thai and English, and used as textbooks to explain the intricacies of the Japanese.
