The most used in Japan
I started using Genki Volume 1 on the recommendation of my Japanese language teacher, who mentioned that this textbook is widely used in language schools across Japan. It’s easy to see why it’s so popular. The book is structured in a way that makes learning accessible and engaging, with clear explanations, practical examples, and a well-balanced approach to both grammar and vocabulary. Each chapter builds on the last, which has really helped me progress smoothly and confidently. I’ve found the exercises especially helpful in reinforcing key concepts and providing plenty of practice with real-world applications. This book has been a fantastic resource, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to build a strong foundation in Japanese.

Popular for a reason
This is one of the most concise resources for learning Japanese. Grammar notes are intuitive, with examples for each topic. The vocabulary section is easy on the eyes, and is great for people like myself who prefer to study vocabulary in similar groups together at the same time. Also, the app paired with the text is easy to navigate, and the pronunciation is easy to follow for non-native speakers.I would recommend this resource for anyone interested in learning Japanese!

Amazing textbook with good resources
I use this for my Japanese class and I really like this textbook! I find the exercises easy to do and I feel like I’m really learning something. I also love that this text has vocabulary flashcard decks on quizlet already so it makes it so easy to study.

good content but horrible book
This book has good information, but it’s covers are very thin. How they made this book makes it very difficult to open a page, and stay on that page. You constantly have to have some sort of weight to hold down the pages to keep your place in the book. This is bothersome if you are in class using the book as a reference while you work in the workbook.

Esta edición es más amplia y cuenta con una aplicación que se puede descargar de Google Play Store para las actividades de listening. Está en inglés. Para mí no es un inconveniente.

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.

Si estás empezando desde 0 el japonés este es un buen libro con una ruta de camino ya hecha: Genki 1, Genki 2, Quartet 1, Quartet 2.Con solo estos libros y de manera autodidacta puedes llegar a intermedio en corto periodo de tiempo y con explicaciones gramaticales fáciles de entender (eso es lo más importante)

Love it. It is easy to learn Japanese in this way. The instructions are clear. Learned a lot in a very short amount of time. Worth the purchase if you want to learn fast and structured.

I took Japanese at University, where we used Marugoto. Marugoto is good for practice, mainly by providing lots of vocabulary (kanji+) and online resources. However, the textbook doesn’t explain grammar well (what you’re doing and why). I find Genki so much easier to follow and remember grammar structures. It starts from the basics and slowly builds upon the previously established systems. I got my book promptly. It’s also nice that it comes with a code for the apps (you still have to pay for them). I look forward to finishing with Genki 1 and moving on to my Genki 2 textbook.
