There are many practices, fun facts, and reoccurring characters, which in my opinion, make it easier to understand. There are also apps that you can get to go with it (that cost about $3-5 if I remember correctly) can can even expand your learning further. Overall a great book, and I will defiantly get the rest once I start up my self-learning journey again! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive and Beginner-Friendly Japanese Textbook *by on Reviewed in Japan 17 September 2025* 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. ### ⭐⭐ Absolutely no structure and tryin to teach way too many things at once *by on Reviewed in the Netherlands 3 February 2023* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Genki Textbook Volume 1, 3rd edition (Genki (1)) (Multilingual Edition) (English and Japanese Edition) - Genki Workbook Volume 1, 3rd edition (Genki (1)) (Multilingual Edition) (English and Japanese Edition) - GENKI - AN INTEGRATED COURSE IN ELEMENTARY JAPANESE - ANSWER KEY - 3RD EDITION en 2020 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/255906532-japan-times-genki-1-third-edition-an-integrated-course-in](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/255906532-japan-times-genki-1-third-edition-an-integrated-course-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-11-08*
