I use JED combined with mazec3 (Japanese) and although I paid for the keyboard, it’s WORTH it. I know many people who have read Harry Potter in Japanese because they’ve read the English version so often.Īn electric dictionary on your phone and keyboard that allows you to draw kanji is a life-saver.
You can also pick up novels that have been translated into Japanese from English. This is a great help if you come across a section you’re not sure about.
Best light novel download sites series#
Many anime are based on light novels, so if you’ve seen the series already you’ll already have an idea for what’s happening. You can also pick up light novels for anime/manga you already know. If you’ve never read a light novel before it’ll be a bit of a shock to try and jump right into a story about space battles with lots of sci-fi and military terms.Īvoid sci-fi, high fantasy, history and military (unless you’re a little more advanced and those are areas you’re interested in learning the Japanese for). What Kind of Japanese Light Novels Should a Beginner Read?Īs I’ve mentioned many times when talking about using anime or manga, the best thing to do is read slice-of-life stories. (Sure you can start sooner, but it’s more challenging without basic vocabulary and grammar knowledge.) I strongly suggest you have at least JLPT N3 level of Japanese before you start reading some of these.
The title for this says “5 Japanese Light Novels for Beginners” but by “beginners” I mean people who have never read a Japanese light novel before. Japanese light novels often have long on-going series with 6-20+ books! So if you don’t like the first book you can easily drop it, but if you love it you can hooked for long on-going stories which improves your kanji/vocabulary/grammar even more!! Japanese light novels are a fantastic way to practice your Japanese! Light novels (or 小説) are, as the name suggests, smaller, easy to get through stories.
