  • Great buy to learn a new language
Format: Paperback
My son is teaching himself to speak in Japanese. He absolutely loved this and uses it all the time. Great buy!

  • Lots of good info
Format: Paperback
I like how clear this is (while also still tackling a complicated language). I thought I could breeze through these but even lesson one took me a bit to make sure I recalled the information and could practice. Pleased so far!

  • A Fantastic Learning Tool
Format: Paperback
My 20-something son is learning Japanese. He already is fluent in English and Spanish. So, we certainly want to encourage his learning and expanding his horizons. He had casually mentioned this book to me. Luckily, I remembered it and ordered it in time to gift to him for Christmas. He really was surprised, and he skimmed through it for the rest of Christmas Day. So, I know he is very grateful and will put this book to good use in his language enrichment goals. I HIGHLY recommend this book! ... show more

  • Very useful in conjunction with other online resources
Format: Paperback
After completing Genki I and II, I feel very confident at a Japanese mid-N4 level. The textbook practice and accompanying workbook exercises are vital, in my opinion. There are many Japanese language learning resources on the internet these days; however, using a mix of this textbook, YouTube videos to accompany it, and my own flashcards, I have built a very solid foundation of the language. ... show more

  • The most used in Japan
Format: Paperback
I started using Genki Volume 1 on the recommendation of my Japanese language teacher, who mentioned that this textbook is widely used in language schools across Japan. It’s easy to see why it’s so popular. The book is structured in a way that makes learning accessible and engaging, with clear explanations, practical examples, and a well-balanced approach to both grammar and vocabulary. Each chapter builds on the last, which has really helped me progress smoothly and confidently. I’ve found the exercises especially helpful in reinforcing key concepts and providing plenty of practice with real-world applications. This book has been a fantastic resource, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to build a strong foundation in Japanese. ... show more
