Apr 12, 2022 · Genki starts out easy and builds up easily (the exception here is lesson 3 which introduces the present polite present tense [verb + masu] which, how it's explained in genki, is probably the hardest lesson in the whole book, so don't quit right here). Genki offers free audio recordings of all dialogues and tasks to learn pronunciation.

The Romaji that Genki uses is what is called Kunrei-Shiki, and basically it shows you phonetically how it is pronounced, rather than in a direction 1-to-1 corrospondence of the Kana, where おう makes a lengthened "oo" sound rather than dipthonging "ou".

The 3rd Edition (based on the 3rd Edition of Genki; 2020 rev.) which I'm currently working on and is a vast improvement over the 2nd Edition.

Aug 25, 2020 · Amazon Japan is saying pre-order and OMGJapan (White Rabbit) doesn't have volume 2 of the third edition that I could find. I have both the book and workbook for Genki I 3rd edition, but am waiting for the second set to be released.

Sep 2, 2022 · From my understanding, Genki is not a self-study book. It's designed to be used as a textbook in a classroom. There is a YouTube channel (ToKini Andy) that actually walks you through each lesson so you can get that classroom-like feel, but there are parts of the book that have you break off with other students. I'm not sure how that's handled.

May 23, 2021 · Another popular book series is Japanese from Zero (JFZ). It contains five books and each book has exercises and answers integrated. JFZ focusses more on self-study at home, Genki more on school classes (e.g. there are a lot exercises where you need a partner). JFZ has an easier start, Genki is more demanding in my opinion.
