This is the number one most helpful resource that I’ve used for learning and the team is so responsive in the comments of the stories too! I think I’ll be moving on to native content now but I started from basically 0, highly recommend

I want to come back and take the time to write a longer review. But for now all i can say is i am floored by the effort, care, and support put in by the team at Satori reader. For me, this has been perhaps THE most helpful tool in acquiring the japanese language. The stories scale in difficulty absolutely perfectly, but perhaps even more importantly, they are ENGAGING. This is not typical graded content. Moreover, the voice acting is phenomenal and the team responds to any questions. I would highly recommend ANY learner of the japanese language to give Satori a try, and consider paying for the full version, from the bottom of my heart.

Every chapter of the story has audio, dictionary, translation, and extended grammar notes, so I usually end up going back through the same chapter several times. Once for reading then again for listening. I'm familiar with N4 grammar but haven't mastered it, so the easier level stories are perfect for me.
