Second edition of the most highly regarded teaching text book on the Japanese language. This is the companion workbook to the text Review: Well Thought-Out Beginners' Course for English Speakers - Genki II is just a continuation of Genki I. The quality is the same, and the comments here apply equally to both Genki I and II. Japanese is a very difficult language for English speakers to learn. If you've learned some French or Spanish (as I have), forget about it! Japanese is many times more difficult. That being said, Japanese is also more interesting, in that it has a completely different structure and forces you to think differently. Genki does a good job of presenting Japanese is an orderly fashion. The authors are all native Japanese speakers, and there are a few places where they make mistakes in English, but those small errors do not take away from the text. Genki could use a few more sample Japanese sentences, though. For example, when they present a new pattern, they often provide just a couple of examples when ten or twelve would be better. I suppose they assume (correctly) that this book will mostly be used in a classroom setting, and that the teacher will provide additional material. In the end, Genki is a good textbook, but you will need more help if you are going to learn to speak Japanese. That is not the fault of the authors, it is just the way it is. Review: Great, as described - Perfect condition. Great book for beginners, would highly recommend.

Very nice
A good book, I think I say this since I do classes with the school that made these books, but I think the lessons are easy to follow in comparison of other japanese learning books.

Ottimo libro di esercizi giapponesi
L'ho usato in aggiunta al 'genki' ho potuto così usufruire di molti esercizi scritti e in ascolto con il disco. Lo consiglio solo in aggiunta al libro di testo 'genki' in quanto da solo risulta ostico.
