Is Genki the best beginner textbook for learning Japanese? | A review / deep dive of Genki 1

Показать описание

This book is one of the most popular ways to start learning Japanese, and it’s also the one I started with. But why is this book recommended so much, and is it a good fit for you? In this video, I’ll do a deep dive into the book, tell you what you can get from it, as well as my opinion. In the end of the video, I'll tell you how I would use the book if I were to start all over again.

The reason Genki has become so popular is that it provides readers with a good foundation in listening, reading, speaking and writing, if you use the book as intended. This will of course only be a foundation, so you will by no means be fluent when you complete the book. But, you will have a good understand of how the language works, and with a push in the right direction, as well as a guide of resources to make use of, you will be on your way to fluency.

This was the book I started learning Japanese with and I would recommended it to others as well. I used the first edition, but what I said should also cover the newer editions.

What do you think of Genki? Let me know in the comments.

It seems like Genki and Remembering the Kanji are the central themes in most Japanese language acquisition advices for quick development. I m new on your channel, but wonder is you have an opinion on Yuta's course?
