Genki Textbook Volume 1, 3rd edition (Genki (1)) (Multilingual Edition) (English and Japanese Edition)

The media could not be loaded. I’m using this with other supplementary resources on my phone to learn Japanese. There’s almost 400 pages of lessons, vocabulary, dialogues, grammar points, exercises to do by yourself of a friend, kanji learning, and more. There are two sections, conversation and grammar; reading and writing. You do not need to know hiragana to get this book since there is a section (reading and writing) that’ll walk you through it, but it’s always good to know ahead of time so you can just start at the beginning of the book. Right now I’m working on the grammar. Each lesson gives you a vocab sheet to study, conversations that will have some of the vocabulary included, and grammar lessons that had to do with the dialogue, as well as teaching new grammar points in the same lesson. There are two textbooks in total: Genki 1, and Genki 2. After that (what I really liked in the book cover) was them recommending what books to use next, once you’ve learned all the elementary Japanese elements. This is the newest edition which will explain what’s new/added, as well as a whole intro of how to use the textbook. You can also use the Genki 1 workbook to help reinforce what you’re leaning in this textbook. Seperate review for the workbook.

I decided to learn a new language and chose Japanese. This is the book we work out of. I have had other books and even a Japanese/English dictionary that I ended up donating. This book is made of good quality materials. The layout and information are easy to follow. It helps you find other helpful learning resources, but I am actually getting a lot out of it. I do recommend it.

I usually just rent the textbook, but it’s such a reasonable price and is used in 3 Japanese college courses, it makes it a great deal!It definitely doesn’t replace going to class or having a professor, but it is great for those classes.

I bought this book because it is required for the Japanese class I am taking. Its content ranges from absolute beginner to low intermediate.

This is so useful and the condition is crazy new!!! Going to be one of the most useful textbooks I have

Easy to follow

Great book to get started with your Japanese lessons. Reminds me of the "for dummies" books but bettee

This is one of the most concise resources for learning Japanese. Grammar notes are intuitive, with examples for each topic. The vocabulary section is easy on the eyes, and is great for people like myself who prefer to study vocabulary in similar groups together at the same time. Also, the app paired with the text is easy to navigate, and the pronunciation is easy to follow for non-native speakers.I would recommend this resource for anyone interested in learning Japanese!
