The first textbook I picked up was minna no nihongo. Back then I had no idea what I was doing and just picked up the most common suggestion I could find. Ordered it conveniently at amazon and when it arrived the next day in my mailbox it was a big surprise: The whole darn thing was written in Japanese. And mind you I barely managed Hiragana back then not to speak of any grammar. I mean it was my intention to learn all that with this textbook. Sorry if I were a little too demanding.

But I still gave it a try, I wanted to learn Japanese after all, right. The grammatical explanations were not bad everything was a little stiff in my opinion. Teaching Japanese is treated as a serious business in this textbook. When you can just explain something in a simple manner without having to dig deep into the world of grammatical terms, why do so? After all, simplicity is king.

In 2012 they released a new version of minna no nihongo which features a CD as well. And the cover-redesign was not a bad idea either. In contrast to the Genki textbooks where you have to buy an additional answer key (so you can use the book comfortably in class), everything is included here. Except for any grammatical explanations of course. The pictures are mostly from the second book you have to buy with the explanations and not from the initial textbook.

Maybe the harsh tone and overly academical style of minna no nihongo is right up your alley. No offense. I mean the textbook looks nice, the pictures are on a healthy kawaii level and if you like the explanations why not go the minna route.

Thanks for sharing your experience with minna no nihongo. Exactly what I felt when using at at the very beginning. Hope you found my study tips because the Tae Kim grammar guide could probably be exactly what you need.

Just want to know if the supplementary books are needed, or if the MNN main textbook is enough. I previously studied 2 years of Japanese at university, which was quite a lot. Yes that was a long time ago however I already have the foundations, so I just need to 'refresh' many things instead of starting from scratch.

Shokyu 1 textbook and workbooks are essential for beginners who have studied Japanese for less than 100 hours. We recommend learning hiragana and katakana before starting to use these books, because there are no explanations on how you should read kana. We have two discounted bundles available, the complete 9 book set and the essential 5 book set.

There are two types of books that are indispensable for learning Japanese with the Minna no Nihongo series: The textbooks (Honsatsu) and Translations and Grammatical Notes (Honyaku - Bunpo Kaisetsu). The Translation book is available in 14 languages.

Using textbooks with their companions "Translation & Grammatical Notes" will help you understand the lessons efficiently and will reduce frustrating misunderstandings in your studies with detailed explanations. These books are available in 14 languages: English, Burmese, Chinese, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Japanese (in Romaji), Russian, Spanish, Thai and Vietnamese.

There are several types of workbooks that allow you to practice the lessons you learned with Minna no Nihongo textbooks. Each workbook addresses a theme of Japanese learning, such as reading, grammar or listening comprehension.

These are additional companion workbooks for Minna no Nihongo textbooks. These workbooks is a collection of exercises and tests to check what you have learned from the textbook. Since the right answers are provided at the end of every workbook, they can be used both for self-study as well as classroom materials.

These workbooks help you thoroughly practice and review vocabulary and grammatical items found in Minna no Nihongo main textbooks. These Sentence Pattern workbooks are illustrated with easy-to-understand charts and diagrams, allowing the learner to quickly understand how Japanese sentences are structured.

These kanji textbooks are for students that are using the Minna no Nihongo Shokyu textbooks. Kanji are structured with reading, usage and writing in both volumes. The book provides descriptive examples showing contexts rather than using rote memorization. They also include tasks, reviews, and quizzes to review what you have learned.

Each Minna no Nihongo textbook has a companion kanji workbook that helps to practice the kanji and vocabulary contained in the lessons. In these workbooks, the learner will first study each kanji, then she or he will practice its reading and writing skills, allowing for a steady progression.

I would recommend to go without structured textbooks going forward. Jumping into lots and lots of (native, Satory reader, bilingual, etc) material and therefore getting used to all the grammar you already learned.

You are over the big hump. You know basically all the verb conjugations you will need (save for some  and other older/rarer grammar stuff) and most grammar going forward is mostly nuance or arguably just words that have a little special usage.

I can understand that opinion and it probably depends on the person what style they prefer. It is probably faster with a textbook but the enjoyment from native material (compared to canned textbook reading) and seeing the grammar in a context which is interesting to you are plus points for me.

Meet Miller-san. He is the handsome foreigner working at IMC, a Japanese company whose adventures you have followed while studying with the Minna No Nihongo Shokyu textbooks. Get ready to learn more about Mr. Miller with this novel.

This is a novel about Mike Miller, the main character of the Minna no Nihongo series of textbooks. The story progresses in line with the presentation of the conversations, example sentences, exercises, questions, etc., found in Minna no Nihongo I, and the more one has studied the more they can enjoy the novel.

From a teacher's point of view of textbooks mentioned above, "Genki" is a good way to start learning sentence structures and grammar points. You can practise all four macro skills (i.e. reading, writing, speaking & listening) within one text book. If you seek more practice, workbook is also available. Negative side is, it can be difficult to do group/pair work yourself. However, if you have a study buddy, you can start making a small conversation with him/her in Japanese as soon as chapter 3. 


"Minna no nihongo" is more focused on grammar points and covers them more than "Genki". Thus, it is probably more friendly textbook to autodidacts. However, all the explanations are in a separate book, so it may not be as convenient as "Genki". Other workbooks are also available and if you collect all of the series, it would be quite bulky. But, you can gain thorough knowledge from them for sure. 


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.

To get a decent handle on the structure of Japanese, you need a solid textbook (or the equivalent) to explain grammar concepts, provide practice exercises, and introduce material that's only +1 above your current ability level.

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.

The two book system isn't "bad," necessarily. Studying with the main, all-Japanese textbook will force you to figure things out through context and use your brain a little more. You can always check the translation book for grammar explanations when you get stuck.

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.

Upon completing the first Minna no Nihongo, you'll know more than if you'd studied Genki I. If you're more academic and want to learn as much as possible, this is a great option for you because you can take your time and soak in the knowledge. If you hit a roadblock, a tutor or language partner would work well with this textbook.

And while Yookoso! teaches a lot, some may find its content outdated and hard to navigate. The first book in the series begins with a bootcamp of sorts that can disenfranchise beginner learners. It seems like Yookoso! was meant to act more as a college classroom textbook rather than a self-learner resource.

As long as you get the Kana Version of this textbook (there is an all-romaji version), you'll learn some valuable things. Each chapter introduces target grammar and vocab gradually, so it's never dumped on you all at once. And at the end of each chapter, there's a quiz you can use to self-evaluate.

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. e24fc04721
