Produktbeschreibung

Makoto Japanese Language & Culture Magazine Issue 90 (August 2025) Fun, culturally rich reading and listening practice for learners of Japanese

Makoto is a monthly digital magazine for beginner to lower-intermediate learners of Japanese. Each issue features short articles, cultural notes, language lessons, jokes, and native-audio recordings-designed to make learning fun, immersive, and memorable.

In this issue (August 2025, Issue 90):

This month's theme is 平成時代 (The Heisei Era)-a reflective, nostalgic journey into the cultural currents that defined Japan from 1989 to 2019. Whether you're a Showa old-hand, Heisei native, or Reiwa rookie, we hope this issue brings back memories-or makes some new ones.

Highlights include:

• Laughs, Jokes, Riddles, and Puns - because language learning should never be boring
• Vocabulary Spotlight: うり二つ (lookalike; spitting image)
• Prefecture Spotlight: Mie - home of Ise Shrine and the ninja of Iga
• Etymology Deep Dive: 浴衣 (ゆかた) - from bathrobe to summer fashion icon
• Anime Phrase of the Day - quote and explanation from a popular anime
• Onomatopoeia: Summer rain - the many moods of Japanese raindrops
• Haiku Spotlight: Yosa Buson - poetic imagery for rainy days
• Kanji Focus: 雨 (rain)
• Grammar Time! ～なくてはならない (how to say "must do" in polite Japanese)
• Japanese Readers:
  • Beginner: A summer vacation story
  • Intermediate: An overview of the Heisei era (with Sentence Explorer integration on Makoto+)
  
  
  Includes:
  
  
  • 63-page PDF and ePub formats
  • 27 MP3 audio files (normal and slow speed)
  • 1 Anki flashcard deck (beginner story vocabulary)
