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

The condition of the product is simply amazing. I purchased the (used-like new) option as it was cheaper, and it did not disappoint. This book is a must have for anyone trying to build a solid foundation in elemental Japanese. The way that each lesson guides you instead of throwing a million vocabulary words in your face is comforting to experience as a self learner. Truly a 10/10, would recommend.

Very nice and laid out evenly to understand and decipher. Also I love Jenny’s Number on Page 43 whoever wrote this has good taste IYKYK

Very useful textbook, easy to use and easy to understand most importantly

Great book and so is the app.

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!

It helps with learning the basics of Japanese but you have to know what the words look like in writeing by lesson 3 and it's a good book just be mindful of the lessons.

For Japanese class

good

GENKI is an excellent textbook for anyone starting Japanese. It combines grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, and exercises in a clear, structured way, making it very beginner-friendly. The explanations are easy to understand, and the examples help apply concepts in real-life situations. It’s also packed with exercises that reinforce learning, and the cultural notes provide helpful context for language usage. Whether you’re self-studying or supplementing classroom lessons, GENKI is a reliable resource to build a strong foundation in Japanese.

Book is great full of good information, I find this book alot easier to use then other Japanese text books Ive user Anyone wanting to learn Japanese i would suggest getting this textbook

I thought this Genki Textbook together with the workbook would be a nice combination, but it is not really. The method is far too complicated and there seems to be no structure. In the textbook things are explained in really short ways, with very strangely build up exercises to learn. not very much examples with new grammar as well. Then there is the workbook which seems to have 2 parts and it is never clear to me when to use which. But the most frustrating of the Genki books I feel, is the fact that they are trying to teach you far too much at once. When you've finally mastered the hiragana and katagana in just a few pages....they actually expect you to start reading everyting in them. So when there is a vocabulary list where you can memorise words, the words will be written in Hirgana or even Kanji! Wherease I just want to start learn in how to say "Bank" "postoffice" "school". Now I first have to decypher the Hiragana or Katagana signs, before I know the word. Same goes for grammar explanation. If you want to explain to people how the "ni" , "de" and "o" particles work, the exercies in the workbook shoudl NOT be written in hiragana/Katagana or Kanji. I have a hard enough time trying to find the right ways to build a sentence, without having to decypher and then translate everything. This is actually really slowing me down as it would be so much better to just learn grammar in English and do the exercices in romaji. I find explanations on the internet also far better than the rather short and complicated ones in Genki.

Das Buch ist in einwandfreiem Zustand angekommen und genau wie beschrieben. Genki I ist ideal für den Einstieg ins Japanischlernen - logisch aufgebaut und gut erklärt. Besonders positiv: Der Verkäufer hat sich persönlich gemeldet, um nachzufragen, ob alles angekommen ist. Sehr freundlich - klare Empfehlung!

Excelente libro!
