Genki 1 Third Edition: An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese 1 Textbook & Workbook Set

The book itself is very good, but the cover is glued very strange

Arrived on time. Books are easy to understand, very informative

Great book, very easy highly recommend 👌

Pretty solid

Excellent. A lot of useful information, and up to date. I can't wait to be able to read everything😂

This book is really great! I’ve been learning Japanese for two years now and I found this set a great aid! It’s really up to date and starts off where you’d want at the beginning and makes it a lot easier to learn! The way the book is laid out is really helpful - worth the money

Very useful books to encourage learning a new language

I'm only on chapter 4 so far, however, it's basically very usable to study Japanese and I am enjoying using it. It is really necessary to buy the workbook and the answer book to correctly understand and learn. It's not 5 stars because of a three things: Chapter 3 is a big step up where it starts to regularly use kanji rather than hiragana. This is not sensible because there is no chance, especially with the size of the script that anyone is actually going to learn the kanji in that way (use RTK!) and they add hiragana in tiny script below that you need a magnifying glass to be sure of (e.g. is that a 'ba' or a 'pa'?). This method just makes things slower without adding anything. Secondly the example conversations are almost exclusively in the world of education so you learn a lot of vocab for that but it would be much better to set things in the real world and vary locations etc. Thirdly, the audio, whilst 'authentic' is fast and sometimes quite indistinct which is expected in the real world but just annoying when you are trying to learn.

Bra skick och snabb leverans.

tudo certo!

en ufak bir hasar bile yoktu, paketleme güzeldi.

[ENGLISH] The book is perfect for anyone wishing to discover or begin learning the Japanese language. The book is divided into two parts: conversation and grammar (I) and reading and listening (II). There is also a Japanese-English and English-Japanese dictionary in the appendix, covering the vocabulary covered in the 24 lessons in total. Please note: this book is aimed at people who are at ease with the English language and the supplementary exercise book is not compulsory.

The textbook is concise and covers all the important points of grammar you need to start learning Japanese. I like the iteration, which facilitates learning. Good connection between lessons. The dialogues are interesting (as much as a beginner conversation can be of course).
