Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Here at JapanesePod101.com, we’ve discovered the easiest way for you to learn Japanese vocabulary words. Put us to the test with this video tutorial designed to teach you about something that you can’t live without.
In this Japanese video tutorial, you’ll learn the words for items you can find at a bookstore. They’re presented so that you’re sure to learn and retain them: hear a native speaker repeat the word three times, fast, slow, then fast. The video also shows the Japanese characters for each item, and there’s a fun self-test at the end so you can see just how much you learned.

みなさん、こんにちは!
Which items do you take a look at when you visit a bookstore?

How would you say it’s hard to tell which picture corresponds to each image?

I agree with what (I think) juan is saying: it was difficult for me to discern/remember which concept was supposed to correspond to the picture in many cases. When the picture is vague, I think it would help to have the English word appear.

I completely agree with Katie (and Juan?). The English should always be there with the test portion of the video, so that we’re only being asked to remember 1 thing at a time.

Ah, so *that’s* what 伝記 means! I remember seeing that in bookstores all the time.

I agree that the test part of the video was kind of hard to use and in such cases putting the English word could be useful.
But beside this I absolutely loved the content of this video. Since it was a pretty specific topic I got to learn a lot. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback everyone! We’ll definitely take that into consideration

Which items do I take a look at when I visit a bookstore? Certainly not self-help books and auto/biographies (like some worthless 20 year old celebrity’s: “my life so far”), which are the trash equivalent of published material. But it’s good to know so one can avoid them…

giovanni-san,
In Japanese bookstores, they have lots of self-help books which are so popular in Japan!
People seem to want some kind of guide for their life.
