Adventure Lion Premium Waterproof Dry Bag with Shoulder Strap & Grab Handle, Roll Top Dry Sack Great for Kayaking, Swimming, Boating (Pink, 5 Liter) Paperback

I love the accompanying audio discs. The pronunciation is so clear and they pause enough for you to repeat or get your bearings. I thought there were only going to be two, one for each textbook. There’s actually four, one for each book! I am a little disappointed that, as far as I’ve seen (I only got them today), there’s no writing help or anything to teach you the stroke order. I guess it’s just trial and error. Also, the furigana (the little hiragana showing how the kanji is said) is a great addition.All in all, a great resource for learning Japanese and I can’t wait to use it more!

They arrived today and came in perfect condition. (ordered other books with them, and they were all intact.) I don't know why for some people they didn't had the booklet included but mine came with it and it's absolutely cute.I flipped through the pages of the books and Genki is really useful, specially a great start if you want to self study Japanese. But would recommend getting the answer key book as well.

Exactly what I needed! No sticky notes but I needed the textbooks more than sticky notes. These textbooks are what we are using at a university I’ll be studying abroad at in Japan. I’ve taken 10 credits already of Japanese in the states, but I need to keep my language fresh in my mind during the summer. Highly recommend. These are from Japan, (notice the book marks with the original yen price) and are recommended by native speakers to study from.

I am a college student who is taking Japanese. I took 4 years of it in high school but we didn't use these books. So when I went into my freshman year of college I joined the 103 level class and they were already halfway through Genki 1. Buying the books in this bundled format allowed the price to be cheaper!

The books routinely ask you to work with a partner and have exercises that do not include an answer key. I understand one is sold seperately but come on, for $150 for paper back it should include an answer key. Don't bother with the QR code apps either. Firstly, it will direct you to the wrong edition app. Secondly the app is terrible. Just download anki for free. In fact, DON'T BUY THESE BOOKS. Toki Andi goes through all of this content on youtube for free better than the books cover it. If money is no object go ahead an drop the cash but in my opinion there are better ways mainly, toki andy + anki vocabulary then anki core 2000 and N5 and N4 vocabulary. If you don't know the Kana yet stop now and learn Kana from Japanese pod 101 for free on youtube or duolingo.

This is an excellent set of books to get as a beginner in japanese. I would recommend if you're getting started or need a refresher. The package arrived on time and I was able to dive right in.

I've found the books to be very useful for learning and revising Japanese. The mix of English, Romaji and the 3 different alphabets. It's seems to be progressive in the amount (or lack there of) of Romaji and English so that you're not relying to heavily on them, which I think is helpful for learning the language.The CDs are pretty helpful tools for listening to and practising pronunciation, though how you use them to study can be left up to you a bit.I didn't receive the sticky notes in my package.

The books are very helpful! (And have that new book smell I absolutely love 🥰) Although there were no sticky notes, the quality of the books makes up for that. They’re very user friendly and come wrapped in plastic so no matter the weather they go through, they’ll get to you nice and clean!
