Japanese textbooks suggestion
Hi,
I chose Japanese as my elected subject in uni, the textbooks we used are called Japanese for busy people volume 1 and 2 (ISBN 0-87011-599-5, 0-87011-919-2) published by Kodansha, and I think it is quite easy to use. Also the dictionary is essential, it is called Basic Japanese-English dictionary published by Bonjinsha Oxford (ISBN 0-19-864162-1). I hope it helps. myeronetwo  This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Nakama vol.1 and 2 is the best book to use because i used it in my college Japanese class and it works good

I took Japanese I and II in my Freshmen and Sophomore years of high school and the book we used was Ima 1 and Ima 2. I thought these books did a wonderful job explaining things and it wasn't hard to follow at all.
Found it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Ima-Level-1-Su...e=UTF8&s=books It's kind of expensive but I think they are worth it. Also, good luck in Japanese it was one of the best classes I had so far. I was speaking idiomatically. |

Furthermore, anyone vouching for a textbook that isn't Genki is a dumbass, sorry. Why is a thread this old still alive, anyway? What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?  |

Oh~ i didn't notice that erikku bumped it from a while ago, but I forgot to mention to stay far, far, far away from the Japanese for Dummies book. It doesn't even start you anywhere close to what is proper, and it's rather impractical in comparison to even just learning a few words correctly by yourself rather than rote memorization in romaji.

Genki I: An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese I is an amazing textbook. It goes through the language in a very effective and systematic manner. But I'm sure most Japanese textbooks go about the same way, so if you find a cheaper one, I'm sure it'll be just as good.
http://www.amazon.com/Genki-Integrat...e=UTF8&s=books But I seriously suggest taking a class, it's so much easier and better. Or even go to Japan, haha, that'd work. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
