Genki 2 Second Edition: An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese 2 with MP3 CD-ROM: 1

This book is great for continuing studies of the japanese language. I'm studying my second year of japanese, and this is the book we use for class. It has everything from all hiragana and katakana to alot of grammar and kanji, an so on. :) I strongly recommend this book to those who like the japanese language, or am studying at some school, or just want to learn more on your own.

This book gets your brain working hard at remembering what you learned in book 1 which is exactly what you need as you can get too relaxed with what you have learned in book 1

Bought it because I need it for university. There really isn't nothing to complain about. Brilliant textbook.

This book really helped to improve my Japanese. At first I was put off by the price but after completing the book and comparing it with other series I can honestly say you get about 2.5 books' worth of content in this one title. Jam packed full of exercises and little illustrations that help to make the book a bit more fun as opposed to a dry academic text, I would definitely recommend this for anyone who has a basic grasp of the language and is looking to make good progress in a short space of time.

Amazing, Two thick and heavy books (Genki 1 & 2) came all the way from Japan. I'm very happy that I can increase my knowledge of this awesome language. Domo Arigatou Gozaimasu - Sayonara !

The book and course are very good and comes highly reccomended, it certainly achieves the objective but the authors know this hence the over pricing!

The delivery was fast and came just in time for the more demanding part of my course ! The pacage was good and the item came undamaged . The book it self is not a favourite as I was used to the first genki (more images and more engaging )! But if you like things a little more sober and demanding this is for you!

I started learning Japanese Language using Genki I and it's been a great teacher to me. It's got huge amount of information in just one chapter so don't be overwhelmed, because it takes quite a while to finish the whole book.

dopo aver comprato GENKI I, ho acquistato subito questo. é il tipo di manuale semplice, chiaro, esaustivo. Corposo ma di facile consultazione. vi giuro che ho provato altri libri in italiano, perché volevo evitare l'inglese. Quanto mi sbagliavo! dovevo comprare subito questo. non ho avuto nessun problema di comprensione, e l'inglese non è per niente un ostacolo considerando che sono appena un B2, ma secondo me è adatto anche a chi ha un livello inferiore. ottimo!

Es un magnífico libro de texto para aprender japones. Muy didáctico y muy completo, es una muy buena opción para usarlo en el autoaprendizaje.

As described, it is new, which is all I'm after. No signs of damage nor 3rd-person use anywhere. Also, it included an authentic receipt in Japanese which shows it's original price sold in Japan and a barcode unique to the book that it's included in. The format of the organisation of vocabulary, grammar, practice activities, and expressions is convenient and easy to navigate. I can see why Genki is so well-renowned! It is the perfect textbook for anyone who has memorised all Hiragana, Katakana and the most fundamental of grammar points (e.g. tenses, negatives, conjunctional て).

I went through classes using the Nakama series for a year and half, and find that those textbooks were thick and expensive, however gave super in depth explanations as well as alternative uses of grammar. When I compare Nakama to Genki; I like Genki for its price, and explanations of the grammar. The explanations of Genki are short, but to the point (similar to "Japanese Sentences Patterns for Effective Communication"). It includes a fair amount of Kanji and vocabulary. Actually Genki includes grammar points omitted from Nakama and vice versa. One particular part I enjoyed were the short readings in the appendices. I used this book at my local Japan America Society for 10 weeks, and when used with a good sensei can be just as effective as Nakama. Textbooks like Genki (and Nakama) are best used in the classroom setting because ultimately there will be gaps in what the textbook provides and what your initial logic (based on your native language) will attempt to tell you. However I think Nakama is better overall for the amount of Kanji, its explanations, and because Nakama 2 will propel the beginner far into the intermediate level somewhere around chapter 8 or 9. If you are considering buying this for self study I would advise against doing so. This book is for beginners. Although it seems that some classes pass off the material as intermediate, it truly is beginner. Only once I finished Genki and moved onto "An Integrated Approach to Intermediate Japanese" (which is the same series) would I consider an advance to an intermediate level. Hence the recommendation. For me, this textbook makes great use as a reference because I need to double check things every now and then.

Perfect condition. Great book for beginners, would highly recommend.
