    The US links don't seem to work. I tried amending the AU ones as well, but got the same error (page not found with pictures of dogs).

    • Taegukgi on 02/10/2018 - 10:26

      Thanks for letting me know. The audiobooks are AU only.

        The audiobooks have different URLs. I have fixed the links.

            @Taegukgi: Good job with the tables BTW. A great visual improvement and no more hunting the links. I appreciate the extra effort you put into the formatting.

        • Lan Mandragoran on 02/10/2018 - 14:15

          Thanks for that! The US links work now.

    • Sammyboy on 02/10/2018 - 13:19

      Use a VPN. My Amazon US account was blocked from purchasing because it checked my location. Used a VPN and it worked on all the ebooks

        It wasn't a location issue, just the US URLs we're different. They have been updated (see above) and work fine now.

      • Jared17 on 02/10/2018 - 19:38

        Is there a need for US account if you already have an aus one?

    How come credit card info is needed to purchase free audio books? Am I the only one experiencing this problem?

    • leznix on 02/10/2018 - 11:03

      Me too. so I did not proceed.

      • Motozine on 02/10/2018 - 12:12

        Me as well.. It's likely through a free trial from Audible.. that's why it asks for the card

      • Love a bargain on 02/10/2018 - 13:15

        I didn't either. Would love to be able to get around that.

    • Bargain321 on 02/10/2018 - 14:19

      Me too

    • Pcoder on 02/10/2018 - 16:43

      I don't think you subscribe to the audible subscription service by downloading the audio books.

      When I downloaded the app, it did try to sign me up the the free trial, but I just exited the prompt and the audio books were available in the library.

      I think you can purchase books by themselves via audible.

    • AaronRain on 02/10/2018 - 17:48
      +1

      Nah, just add you card, it's $0 and it won't charge you.

      There is a difference between the one that is from Audible, it will say something like:

      Audible Audiobook
      $0.00
      Free with Audible trial

      These one actually are listed as:
      Audible Audiobook
      $0.00
      Available for immediate download

      • Love a bargain on 02/10/2018 - 18:03

        I prefer not to add a card in case I accidentally buy something that I think is free but is not.

        • AaronRain on 03/10/2018 - 17:04

          Just remove it after? I have a card added and it usually require you to enter your account password if you buy something that require $ otherwise it just add it without one if it's free.

    I never spent a cent learning, just anki, tae kim, yomichan and shitloads of reading. 100% worth

    • incipient on 02/10/2018 - 11:21

      Haha yeah I think really you can do absolutely anything, the real key you hit is "shitloads of reading". There is absolutely no alternative to brute force when learning a language. Particularly all the damn conjugation in Japanese…damn it drives me up the wall!

      • philmarcracken on 02/10/2018 - 14:14

      • et tu brute on 02/10/2018 - 15:49

        Don't forget the 'immersion technique'… where you get away from the major cities and towns in Japan and travel into the hinterlands of rural Japan or the isolated islands where English is neither heard, spoken or read and where the locals don't come up to you and want to 'plactice their Engrish' on you. Then it's only Japanese or hand pointing only (good luck with that)… ;)

        • incipient on 02/10/2018 - 17:25

          Haha I think your reference to "plactice" is more an accent thing, than the language itself…and losing and accent is a whole other kettle of fish!

          I actually find English in Japan is quite widely spoken! We were driving through Shikoku and fairly often stopped at what was little more than someone's house and even there they have basic tourist English.

          But yeah immersion is the best way to learn! I'm hoping I can a quit my job soon and go.

        • mezje on 02/10/2018 - 18:40

          I tried to teach myself Japanese on/off for a year or two then decided to minor in it at Uni. I have now completed 2 units of Japanese and had 2 ~3week trips to Japan, almost entirely away from Tokyo and the big cities (although I did spend a fair bit of time in Nagoya) and found I learned rapidly while being isolated from English compared to back home.

      • cannedhams on 02/10/2018 - 19:59

        Absolutely this. I used to buy Doraemon manga from book off and slog through them, unfortunately I have slacked off and Japanese has suffered accordingly.

  • johnyBgood on 02/10/2018 - 11:03

    downloaded and started listening to "Learn Japanese: Word Power 101: Absolute Beginner Japanese #1"
    like most of these learning language things, they basically say something in English then in Japanese and you supposed to pick up that way….
    first example of the book. "this is 10 pieces for THREE HUNDRED yen"(in English) then they said the following in Japanese "this is 10 pieces for three THOUSAND YEN"
    lol

    OP thanks for the ebooks
    Son has to learn japanese next year at school so these may come in handy

    also do I have to be a member of/ join audible to get the audio books?

    as when I try to get them, it asks me to sign up/ enter my amazon details
    basically I am wondering if I am inadvertently signing up to an audible trial by getting these audio books? and then the credit card details will help to maintain my monthly account after the trial?

    • alvian on 02/10/2018 - 12:52

      I am not sure if you will be opted into a trial simply by getting the free audiobooks. I can tell you though that there is no monthly fee to maintain an Audible account. The monthly subscription is only if you want to receive "monthly credits" which can be used to redeem an audiobook.

    • khell on 02/10/2018 - 13:53

      Surely these books are too basic for JLPT…

      • DarthAntz on 02/10/2018 - 13:54

        Doing N4. to pass the JLPT, youre best off studying the JLPT textbooks. so says everyone who has passed.

        • irrits on 02/10/2018 - 14:08

          Agreed, the text books are best. But as mentioned previously Anki is amazing and has been a huge help too

        • belongsinforums on 02/10/2018 - 14:24

          I did n2 and never looked at a textbook

  • Sammyboy on 02/10/2018 - 13:54

    It appears that a lot of the Audible books in all the languages from the company are free. Click on the Innovative Language Learning link on the Amazon audible book page. They will either be listed as discounted to free or free with audible trial. So just click on discounted to free ones.

    It seems the last book, “Fluent Japanese From Anime and Manga” is no longer free.

    • Taegukgi on 02/10/2018 - 17:28

      AU not free. US is still free.

      • AaronRain on 02/10/2018 - 17:53

        It actually listed as:
        Kindle Price: $2.88

        Save $4.11 (59%)
        includes free international wireless delivery via Amazon Whispernet

        On the US site, but when I click buy it now, it didn't charge me and show up in my account as $0.
