Yomiuri 5 Minute Japanese Lessons (Japanese Idioms) - Free Download

The Yomiuri Shinbun has a column - Pera Pera Nihongo, 5 Minute Japanese.


Here's the link to the lessons. There's one link per lesson.

To make it more convenient, I've compiled the 100 lessons into one PDF file.
It's quite a large file at 24MB, but has color and drawings,
and requires Japanese font on Adobe reader.
Here's the link to the compiled PDF (100 lessons minus one).
Note that Lesson 56 is missing, it's nowhere in the original site.

This is a very interesting lesson series. Each lesson answers a question
about confusing points on the Japanese language or culture.

Good material to learn real Japanese. And as a preparation for JLPT reading comprehension
