This is the revised third edition book in one of the most highly regarded Japanese textbook series: Genki 2: An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese - Third Edition. The book is divided into 23 themed chapters and covers speaking, listening, reading, and writing to cultivate overall language ability. I'm learning on my own and bought the 3rd edition of Genki 1 (plus the workbook) and the 2nd edition of Genki 2 (with the workbook). The audio material for Listening Comprehension is available through OTO Navi, The Japan Times Publishing's sound player app. The big advantages are more shorter and to the point descriptions, and better examples, but the contents of the book are nearly identical.Lastly, audio aids which were previously sold separately, now can be downloaded for free from the publisher's site.

Aside from money, the only other reason to go for the 2nd edition is if you are using online tools that haven’t been updated for the 3rd edition yet. In the revised edition, negative forms of adjectives and noun phrases that are more common in everyday life have also been updated. Even though the grammar points presented in the volume are the same, the explanations have been revised and are now even easier to understand. GENKI was reviewed for vocabulary and expressions that have lost some of their currency since the time of publication, so that they can be replaced with alternatives that are more relevant to today’s Japan.You finished a textbook similar to Genki 1 (for example Minna no Nihongo Shokyu 1) and want to switch to a different textbook. With 11 lessons and 317 kanji under your belt, you'll be able to understand more than 1100 words and master all the basic sentence patterns in Japanese. Each lesson in the revised edition features a new section dubbed “Culture Notes,” which provides information in English on a wide variety of topics pertaining to Japanese culture and everyday life in Japan. If you're looking to improve your Japanese skills even further, the GENKI 2: Textbook (3rd Edition) is perfect for you. The audio material of the GENKI CDs (previously sold separately from the textbooks) is re-edited and re-recorded in MP3 format on CDs that will be bundled with the revised textbooks.

Allows you to practice your listening skills in Japanese, which will help you become more fluent overall. Do you guys agree with the guide on Tofugu that I should wait till around level 10 Wanikani to start something like Genki? Lastly, audio aids which were previously sold separately, have been included on an mp3 audio CD, ready to install on any music player. Select a lesson from the quick navigation and then the exercise that you want to practice for that lesson to begin testing your knowledge.I know Tofugu does directly say to wait, but really I think the only reason to do such a thing is to make sure you are willing to stick with an existing schedule before you begin something new and risk moving backwards. With questions on the most important elements studied during the second textbook lessons, this workbook will help you improve your understanding of the language. Hey, that’s exactly what Tokini Andy’s videos are for if you don’t have a structured class or teacher available.
