Great text book

Reviewed in Australia on 28 September 2019

Verified Purchase

This text book is a great resource for learning learning japanese. I started learning just shy of 2 months ago and realised im not getting enough education of the grammar through duolingo and other sources (not to take away from the services, they are great). A couple chapters into the text book and i am so happy with the purchase, it has already clarified so much and taught me in a clear and concise way. The book is well put together, and i really like the cultural notes and expression notes that are included in the chapters.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone starting off or anyone needing to get a grasp of the grammar.

Great textbook for learning Japanese, will teach you all the basic. You will need to google the answer sheets if you are studying alone without a teacher.

Best way to start learning Japanese

Reviewed in Canada on 6 July 2022

Verified Purchase

I've gone through the whole book, and the second volume. I can definitely say that this one of the best ways to get your foot in the door for learning Japanese. It teaches a good chunk of vocabulary and kanji, but more importantly, it teaches all of the basic grammar.

Each lesson is formatted as a reading which you go through, followed by a vocab dump, then the lesson grammar, then practice. There is also reading and kanji that you're expected to learn at the back. Even though it's a bit pointless, it also comes with a cd that has audio for the book, which you can use for listening to the vocab. The CD is also used for listening practice.

There are alternatives to this book such as Tae Kim's Grammar guide which is free, or Minna No Nihongo which is the other "Beginner Japanese Textbook" but I prefer Genki over them. It is also worth noting that many people also prefer Genki over those so guides and blogs are really common for Genki.

If you do chose to buy Genki, here are my recommendations:
1.) Get Anki. It's a flashcard app. If you are learning Japanese, Anki will be shoved in your face non-stop. So get Anki and get a Genki flashcard deck.
2.) Don't just rely on Genki for Vocab or Kanji. Genki teaches the vocab it needs to teach it's grammar points, and a good chunk of N5 (JLPT, Japanese Language Proficiency Test) vocab. But, you'll need more vocab then what Genki provides to get anywhere in Japanese. I recommend downloading the Core 2K/6K deck for Anki. Same deal with Kanji. Genki gives you a good base, but it isn't enough. Get a dedicated Kanji source. Like James Heisig's Remembering the Kanji, or WaniKani.
3.) The Practice Section. Do them if you like. If you choose not to do the practice, which I did, then make absolutely sure that you have those grammar points as flashcards. Heck, even if you do the practice, still turn the grammar points and every sentence using them into flashcards. You will forget them if you don't
4.) Don't ignore listening. Any textbook will make you good at reading, and somewhat decent at speaking (In the sense that you'll know how to say what you want) but doesn't do anything for listening. Good luck having a conversation in Japanese if you can't hear what they're saying. So do the listening practice. Go further and find other sources to practice listening. Listening is Genki's biggest weakness.
