Minna No Nihongo: Bk. 1

Product Information

Now that we have reviewed all of the components for both series, we are left with our initial question: which one is the best for self-studying?

They're not just Japanese grammar books: each lesson features a situation with a dialogue that makes you go through new grammar points, vocabulary, and kanji while practicing reading and listening comprehension and doing some writing as well. Lastly, using the Minna no Nihongo series to prepare for exams like the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) can be a good strategy for achieving success. The Minna no Nihongo main textbook focuses on providing students with comprehensive lessons and exercises that cover a wide range of Japanese proficiency levels from N5 to N2. Although the overall structure is very similar for both series, one of the main differences for the textbooks is that the instructions are given in English for Genki while there is no English featured in the main textbook for Minna no Nihongo (the translation can be found in a separate workbook). The textbook is structured to follow the learning journey of a foreigner, Miller-San, who has just started learning the Japanese language.Daarentegen aan het eind van de rit is er als vanzelf de kennis van Jlpt op meer dan voldoende niveau. Minna no Nihongo, a widely-used Japanese language textbook series, offers various editions tailored to different language learners. The textbook series has been designed with a two-book system, where the main textbook is written entirely in Japanese, encouraging students to decipher the context and gain a more in-depth understanding of the language. Minna no Nihongo and the Genki series are both popular choices for beginner Japanese language learners. For those worrying about Kanji character study, there is an appendix at the end of both main textbooks that focus on Kanji.

Workbooks, on the other hand, complement the textbooks by offering additional exercises and practice for reinforcing the material learned in the main volumes. Some learners may focus more on reading skills, while others may prioritize speaking or listening practice. For learners requiring more clarity, there are translation and grammar notes to support your understanding of the Minna no Nihongo textbook. 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. Also, Minna No Nihongo may not be the best book for self-study as you may struggle to have a grasp of the whole concept of the language.In classroom settings, Minna no Nihongo has proven successful, used by language teachers and students worldwide. Lesson topics including essential grammar, vocabulary, listening and speaking are taught and instilled in students through situational daily conversations.
