Hey guys, it's Loretta. Welcome to my channel!

過去簡單式

So there's this thing in Japan called 'ASA NO DOKUSHO UNDOU', or just 'ASA NO DOKUSHO'

For elementary, middle school and high school in Japan, the idea is that

you start every morning before your classes

So I was reading through Japan's top rated titles for this year and found

[chuugakusei bumon ichi-i wo totta daininki na shiriizu, to iu mono ga aru n desu kedo]   the number one title for middle school students!

it's the holy grail of books, that I've been looking for, for years!

If it's good enough for Japanese students, it's good enough for us!

what's in my Japanese book bag, and which of these I'd recommend to you!

[watashi no tsuisakki souji shita bakkari no toshoshitsu e yokoso!]   Welcome to my library, THAT I ONLY CLEANED FOR THIS VIDEO!!

[BOOK OFF dato hontou ni geki-yasui n dakedo] Book Off is so crazy cheap

[kaigai da to, sonna ni yasuku kaenai desho ne!] But you can't get em this cheap outside of Japan!

I checked and the majority of these you can get on Amazon Japan

I checked on CD Japan and import services like that

but the fees to get these books out of Japan is just ridiculous!

I do realize that not all of you are going to have access to all of these

so today I partnered up with some of my old friends

I partnered up with the gang at Satori Reader

to show you guys one more quick tip to help you guys get reading!

No matter where you are or what your budget

I want to make sure that all of us can get in on the book club

so before we get into these books let me share a little tip first.

You guys may remember I introduced Satori Reader a few videos back

But when you're reading a book in a foreign language

it's really easy to get distracted or frustrated by words/kanji you don't know.

So the guys at Satori Reader have put together a service that combats this

in the form of books, short stories, articles

dialogs and transcriptions of real world conversations

they have a full range of stories that you can read in Japanese along with full audio support.

You can read the story and actually learn to read aloud, and start building your muscle memory for some of these words!

You can read these really thorough definitions of the words

but recently they added this new feature that I really want to share with you guys

I recently took my dog to the vet and struggling in a second language is the last thing you want to do at a reception desk

[kyou wa dou nasaimashita ka?] What brings you here today?

[sore de wa, kochira no MONSHINHYOU ni gokinyuu wo onegaishimasu.] Ok, please fill out this MONSHINHYOU.

You can actually change the settings to turn off the furigana

Let's say for example that you didn't know what this word was.

If you click the word, it tells you that it means:

MONSHINHYOU, a medical questionnaire/history form

So I'm going to add this too my study list, and HERE's where it gets cool!

Once you're done reading, go to the menu and click 'REVIEW'.

you can see this new card that I just put in

So let's say, maybe you kind of knew it but weren't exactly sure

and it tells the card to reappear in your study list in one day.

In one app, not only do you have the content

if you subscribe to the paid version you have access to regularly updated new articles

with the audio context, the sound bite of what it actually sounded like

this way you can read the stories and enjoy them

but you can also study afterwards, all in one place!

and you can export all these files as a .CSV

it's the standard MS Excel file that you can  upload into other apps

you can use it to study on your own and make your own notes

enjoy reading, enjoy studying afterwards without frustrating yourself

export, and keep learning in other ways as well

thanks to the guys at Satori Reader for sponsoring this video today

but also for making this app, that can help a lot of us get over that awkward intermediate plateau.

so we can just enjoy reading and studying as well!

I like to hear real people talking so I really like the transcriptions and dialogs.

For those of you already on Satori Reader, comment to let me know what you're reading!

Whether it's digital or old school paperback,

how you pick content can be the most important step

in making sure you actually finish reading and learn something!

Here are my 3 criteria that I usually use:

1: I use books where I'm already familiar with the story

2: for almost every story, even if it's one I've read before,

I prefer to read stories that are WRITTEN IN FIRST PERSON.

You can tell this pretty easily if you look for the kanji WATASHI [私] BOKU [僕] or ORE[俺],

3: It has to be something that I'm personally interested in learning about.

In the past I read a lot of cook books in Japanese

but recently I'm more into apps, IT, business

it's fun to read the same topics in Japanese, too.

But my most important criteria is materials written in first person!

For example, the first time I tried to read Harry Potter in Japanese

it was actually really hard to read in Japanese

because it's not written in a style that you use anywhere else.

Japanese is pretty easy if you're good at memorizing

because you just need to learn the clear-cut ways of talking in specific situations.

You speak a certain way, you write emails a certain way

you read in a certain way and tell stories in a certain way

and all of these maybe the same language, but the style is very different!
