Doesn’t get better than genki
The genki books are the best book for learning Japanese that you can find Unless your a college student and are required to get an updated edition, there is NO NEED to buy the latest edition for full price. Simply get the 1st edition from the year 2000. It’s the exact same book except 1/10th the price.Read full review

CHUNKY BOOK WITH GREAT INFO
The product was recieved a day earlier than estimated which is always a great thing! The book came with the dust cover, but was a little disappointed it did not come with the dark orange small dust cover with information regarding apps, really not necesary for use of the book its just nice look for the book.
The pages don't contain any writing and there weren't any damages made during transit which is also a great thing! Overall this book is great, especially for new Japanese learners. Slow to get into the kana allowing the user ample time to learn hiragana and katakana before making the transition from all romaji to all kana.Read full review

A great starting place for Japanses grammar...
So far, this seems like a really good book for learning Japanese grammar and speaking/reading in general. A great supplement to any curriculum.
I'll note what a lot of other reviewers have said: While the book says it's for self-study as well as classroom study, there are many lesson reviews and practice exercises that simply do not translate well to self-study. That's the only real downside I've seen so far. (see photos)
That said, I'd really recommend getting this and the workbook as well, as that has extra exercises and is more centered around self-study.
Other than that, it is a good starting place right after you have Hiragana and Katakana down and want to move on.
Also, it's Elementary level Japanese. So it's more a solid foundation than anything.Read full review

Genki 1 Second Edition
The book arrived on time and it is plastic sealed. I prefer this older edition because it is the exact book our professor use. I use it for reference and reviews.

Best book for learning Japanese!
This book explains everything so well and easily. The only thing is that is has many sections for work in groups and if you plan on self study you'll have to figure out how to do them by yourself. Anyway I love the book so far and I plan on buying Genki 2 as soon as I finish this one.Read full review

One of the best learning Japanese language books for all levels!!!
Literally all the material is up to date, accurate, comprehensive, and clear. There is an audio CD that accompanies the book as well as a full and complete explanation of everything Japanese related (Obviously relevant to the material in the textbook) within the confines of this textbook. There is really not any type of negative comment to say about this book. If you are looking to learn and study the Japanese language, this is the definitive book for most people.Read full review

Informative enough for both self-study and classroom use.
Very informative, some areas could use more elaboration. Lessons apparently revised from the first issuing of the textbook and includes more casual conversation which is a plus. Only thing I would change is just a personal preference and doesn't detract from the lessons; a hardcover edition.Read full review

Comprehensive and easy to follow
Intelligent and effective Japanese language learning. I definitely recommend doing the text and workbook in tandem. Used along side a solid Kanji/vocabulary phone app like Kanji Senpai, Human Japanese and the Genjki vocab app provides a good little learning program.Read full review

Love these books
I've been studying Japanese for a little while now and these books are perfect. I'd stray away from these if you are an absolute beginner. You need at least a base upstanding of Japanese. All in all fantastic product!Read full review
