#Human japanese vs genki series#

The Genki series consists of the main textbook (with audio CDs for dialogues), a workbook, and an answer book. There’s a revised edition now, which includes audio CDs as well as updated dialogues. I personally went through this textbook series and I can vouch for how great it is at giving people a great base to start learning Japanese. Analog Resources: Genki: Elementary Japanese There are so many books and resources online, but I want to pick a few that I deem worth your time! There’s nothing worse than getting excited to learn something only to find out that the resource you picked isn’t very good. When you come across sections in a book or app that help you make the transition to reading only in Hiragana, you won’t struggle! By learning the Hiragana early, you’ve already saved yourself a lot of time and effort. Here are some great Japanese resources for jumping in.

Now that you have learned Hiragana, it’s time to apply that knowledge by diving into a textbook or learning vocabulary words. I do recommend going back and learning Katakana once you start making progress in a textbook or app, so don’t forget! The next step would be to learn Katakana, but it is not necessary if you want to start seeing some basic sentences. Moku app or Kana flash cards you learned Hiragana, that’s excellent. Check out part 1, if you haven’t read that yet. This is part 2 of my Beginning Japanese series.
