Genki 1 Third Edition: An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese 1 Textbook & Workbook Set Review: Best thing ever for Japanese learning - This is amazing. I use it to study Japanese on preply.com with my tutor and it’s very clear and helpful. Review: Incredible book - but get the workbook and textbook separately, and grab a Kanji Look and Learn too - The workbook is absolutely essential- but unfortunately, the one that comes with this bundle doesn't have perforated pages, so you have to rip them to turn them in during class, or even just to work on a flat surface if you're doing self study. Look up other workbooks and search for perforated pages in the reviews. They don't rip out very easily without them. Additionally, the accompanying Kanji Look and Learn (workbook and textbook) is just as essential and seamlessly blends with the textbook chapters. It's a must. Therein, it's a much better kanji book than any other kanji resources I've found. That said, this text is maybe the best textbook I've used after 5 years of college. I used the first half of Genki I with a class, and continued self study with a tutor. It worked excellently for both. That said, you'll need to be motivated for self study- this isn't Duolingo, you're gonna have to put yourself to work for many hours a week if not daily on text book exercises, workbook exercises, kanji and kana studies and a whole lot of vocab that's going to be dumped on you (I ended up with many hundreds of flashcards). The text does an incredible job of incremental progress while working in concepts from previous chapters to give you a sense of progress and some much needed review. Exercises give you a good diversity of the uses for the grammar you've learned thus far and incrementally introducing kana, vocab, kanji, numbers, ect. The simple story and characters the book follows are effective and undistracting. The text breaks chapters into a dialogue you come to understand by the end of the chapter, a vocab list, description of grammar points corresponding to sections of exercises, the exercises themselves and then cultural notes and useful tables of things like dates, additional vocab, Japan's rather complex way of counting things, ect. Not to mention the huge library of audio in the free app for vocab, dialogues, listening exercises and, again, additional things like numbers. Without Genki for self study, I'd be totally lost. I would also recommend A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar by Seiichi Makino and a Genkouyoushi notebook for kana/kanji practice. An edit for those self-studying without a tutor: I should've mentioned that the exercises are, unsurprisingly, designed for conversation (about half of them or more, I'd guess) and require a partner or a class (class exercises can often be reduced to a two person exercise- I've done every exercise with my tutor). Most of these can be worked into a solo endeavor, but some do require another person- in my case, a tutor, but some probably won't work very well solo. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #36,255 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,908) | | ISBN-10 | 4889969446 | | ISBN-13 | 978-4889969443 | | Item Weight | 2.16 pounds | | Language | Japanese | | Publication date | February 1, 2020 | | Publisher | Japan Times Publishing | ## Images ![Genki 1 Third Edition: An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese 1 Textbook & Workbook Set - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KCQPTxETL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best thing ever for Japanese learning *by M***Z on February 13, 2026* This is amazing.

Overall, I feel it is a very thorough textbook. I personally like that it starts you out in Japanese right away. While it was difficult when I started, being forced to write and answer the workbook in Japanese has greatly improved my writing and reading abilities. I will say this textbook would probably be difficult outside of a classroom since it is best to have a teacher to answer questions that may come up. Otherwise, I think it is a great textbook and workbook set! ## Frequently Bought Together - Genki 1 Third Edition: An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese 1 Textbook & Workbook Set - GENKI - AN INTEGRATED COURSE IN ELEMENTARY JAPANESE - ANSWER KEY - 3RD EDITION en 2020 - Genki: An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese Textbook + Workbook II [third Edition] (Multilingual Edition)… --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/209116734-genki-1-third-edition-an-integrated-course-in-elementary-japanese](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/209116734-genki-1-third-edition-an-integrated-course-in-elementary-japanese) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
