What is 'News Web Easy'?

News Web Easy is a site operated by NHK  that is Japan’s public broadcaster.

Not only is the news presented in simple Japanese, but there are many helpful features for Japanese leaners.

The helpful features

You can erase the readings above the kanji with the buttons marked in yellow.

Click on the button above it to listen to the news! It's a robot voice, but from what I heard, there was no problem with the reading.

Word Description

Click on an underlined word to see its meaning.

In this time, I clicked the word "選手せんしゅ". Is it easier to understand the explanation?

The other helpful design
Proper nouns are colored accordingly, so that you can easily identify the name.

Want to read the regular news? You can also click the blue button at the bottom of the page to see the regular news.
