Learning Japanese Books Free Download

Hey, I have heard a lot about the Genki books and I was thinking of getting them but since there SOOOOOO expensive, I was wondering if there are any books that might be just as good but a cheaper alternative, or at least any book that would be good to get as well as Genki? please answer soon ?

The Basic Japanese Grammar (and intermediate) book and Remembering the Kana were great resources for me as well. I also found Remembering the Kanji to be great, although even after finishing it the road to truly learning kanji is a looong one.

Thanks for the response, and taking a look at the site. While I have hopes of eventually producing books aimed at learners of Japanese, this site is, a you put it so well, organizing Japanese novels, etc in a logical way for learners. =)

Hey all, just wanted to know which textbooks to buy to aid me in my Japanese adventure. So far, i've learnt hiragana and katakana but that was a few months ago so I wish to brush up on that before getting these textbooks. The books in question are; Genki 1 (textbook and workbook) , Nihongo fun and easy, understanding through pictures 1000 kanji and Kanji look and learn (textbook and workbook).

I wanna know if any of these textbooks make one or another redundant or if I'm better saving the money for more advanced books down the line. Please leave any suggestions for any other textbooks I should also consider because I am open to that to.

With so many apps, programs, and online resources out there to learn Japanese, you might be forgetting one of the best and simplest resources to either begin or continue your progress in learning the language: books! ?

It covers essential grammar, vocabulary, listening, and even speaking practice. Minna no Nihongo can really prepare you to study entirely in Japanese, as it has much less English than other beginner textbooks.

Kanji takes a lot of time, sure, but there is nothing hard about it. The Basic Kanji Book has the most useful 500 kanji in two volumes. This book really highlights each of the kanji, with all the readings, meanings, and words they are used in, so you can focus on learning them individually.

After you've got some kanji knowledge under your belt (about level 10 or 20 in WaniKani), it's time to pick up a textbook and start learning the framework in which you can use all the Japanese you've learned.

But which textbook to choose? There are so many. And beyond textbooks, there is a wealth of reference books, dictionaries, and other things that expand on your textbook's lessons. And you'll need those to reach intermediate and beyond.

If you're following our path to Japanese fluency, you'll already know upwards of 650 kanji from your WaniKani lessons at level 20. With so much kanji packed in your brain, not only will these textbooks be much easier to use, but you'll be able to skip the kanji lessons and use that time to move your Japanese ability forward in other ways.

The difficulty of each lesson scaffolds gradually, so you won't feel the material is too far above your head. The exercises, audio CDs, and workbook match the high quality of the textbook and reinforce what you're learning through variety and repetition.

Minna no Nihongo is very in-depth too. It covers a lot of material and uses complex terms to teach grammar points. It even explains pitch accents with new grammar you learn! This is great because pitch accent should be learned early but few textbooks cover it.

Learners of Japanese trying to get into the Marugoto curriculum may not know about the accompanying websites, native audio files, or wordbooks that are truly necessary for a full learning experience. There is a steep learning curve when it comes to implementing all of the features that come with this curriculum.

The audio CD is included so you get listening and speaking practice too. If you've started your career, the dialogues, being business-y, will be more relevant than classroom-oriented ones found in other textbooks. And unlike Genki, there's an answer key in the back so you can check your work.

An interesting quirk: there's no kanji at all in this book. I guess they named it "Kana Version" for a reason. This isn't a huge problem if you're learning your kanji with WaniKani, but it can become irritating to read all kana paragraphs when you're used to kanji.

The grammar explanations are minimal, so you'll need outside sources to supplement what you learn. When you get about halfway through, you start to see grammar points or levels of detail that aren't commonly taught in other textbooks, not to mention more natural Japanese in the dialogues.

One drawback is that kanji aren't used often in the book itself. Even in the last dialogue, it's mostly kana with some common kanji thrown in. This isn't a big issue since you're learning kanji with WaniKani, but you don't get to practice reading the kanji you do know in the otherwise excellent reading comprehension exercises.

A unique feature of AIJ not found in other books is the lesson review at the end of each chapter. You're given grammar exercises that test your knowledge on key concepts from the chapter and a checklist of things you "can do" with your new knowledge. If you're not passing the review quiz or can't check off an item on the checklist, you know exactly what you need to study before moving on. This is a great barometer for progress and a great selling point for this series.

The explanations are accessible and the manga reinforces the target concepts. You shouldn't make this your primary study resource, but instead use it to get alternate explanations for grammar points you're learning in a more formal textbook.

Textbooks can only cover so much. They give you a solid foundation in Japanese, so you can go out into the wild with the tools to learn all the other little things that exist in the language and culture. These tools should consist of vocabulary, grammar, syntax, and some kanji too.

When you're learning another language it's important to know how the grammar of your own language works first. You may use English just fine, but understanding it with terms like "predicate" and "direct object" and "causative" may not be so easy.

This book is especially helpful for beginners learning kanji and focusing more on verbs. There are tons of verb homophones in Japanese and being able to tell the difference between all three s can be a huge help.

Once you learn basic types of verbs, the book goes straight into teaching conjugations. Each of these conjugations is presented with "sentence patterns" they're commonly used with. Thanks to these patterns, the book covers far more grammar than even some beginner textbooks. Each sentence is in romaji, then Japanese (without furigana), and finally English. At the end of each conjugation section is a practice section where you can use what you've learned.

This book is a two-in-one, with the first half dedicated to adjectives and the second to adverbs. Adjectives focus on conjugations plus grammar, which is especially important when learning from English, which doesn't conjugate adjectives. Adverbs focus on grammar usage (since they don't conjugate), making this even more of a textbook-type grammar resource than a typical "dictionary."

The Dictionaries of Japanese Grammar are the most recommended books from the Tofugu staff to learners of Japanese. There are three total, but the first book is a must have for all students, no matter what method they're using to study.

While these are "dictionaries," they hold much more information than most people would expect from a typical dictionary. And the Basic book contains more grammar than most beginner textbooks and classes cover.

This book works well for beginners up through the intermediate level. It doesn't cover all particles in Japanese, but it does extend into higher levels of particle learning than most beginner textbooks.

Hopefully this list gets you close to a decision on a go-to textbook and some reference books. After all, choosing the exact right perfect 100% best book is not nearly as important as just getting started. The sooner you start a study routine, the sooner you'll be using your accumulated knowledge, no matter how hodgepodge, to learn more and more advanced concepts.

I also wrote a whole post about how I used the Genki textbooks myself and how I would start going through them again. I like the iOS Apps but there is also a website called Genki Exercises that digitalized the workbook and practiced parts of the textbook for text input.

I hope that works. Some stuff that I love to recommend to nearly all stages of learners are the Japanese Graded Readers books. Available from super easy to intermediate. They come in attractive little boxes, each story in a separate booklet, but have a look at yourself.

Hello guys,

Yes we can learn elementary japanese in our home by using very effective books which are available in market, but they are costly and not everyone can afford it, so because of this I am here to provide you a japanese learning book in just $5, i.e GENKI with whole workbooks, textbooks, and audio files as well.

It has given me much confidence in starting the Japanase language, I have ordered most of the materials mentioned, only the paperbacks/books as I am more of a book person, though I will see to it to get the mentioned apps soon. Short story is that, previously I was utterly lost as where to actually start in Japanese language study (as with learning any new language), and also devastated as I tried my hands on with other materrials on my local bookstore but to no avail.

But with the newly purchased materials mentioned above and the study steps, it has given me the right guidance on how to progress in learning Japanese systematically. I wished I found this write up of yours sooner, but now that I have them, I can progress with the Japanese language with confidence. 2351a5e196
