One of the questions we get asked at J-List a lot is, "I want to start learning Japanese, what book do you recommend?" Most textbooks are entirely dry, uninteresting, and cannot follow a student's pace, leaving students frustrated. However, a new series by The Japan Times has recently taken Japanese language for foreigners by storm, and comes highly recommended by anyone who has taken it -- Genki, An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese. The entire course has 23 lessons, guiding the student from the beginning until the student has mastered elementary grammar and can read not only hiragana and katakana but over 300 of the most commonly used kanji as well.

Each lesson has: 1) a dialogue introducing vocabulary and grammar in a situation the student may find familiar; 2) a list of the vocabulary with hiragana, katakana, kanji and English meaning; 3) grammar with full explanations in English; 4) interesting usage notes; 5) several pages of practice questions designed to be fun and interesting incorporating dialogue skills, writing skills, and thinking skills; 6) additional vocabulary. Each lesson also has a complementary lesson in hiragana/katakana/kanji, with reading and writing exercises. The separate workbook has more writing exercises and kanji writing practice. This is simply the recommended textbook for anyone beginning Japanese up to 3rd level in the JLPT.

THIS CD SET: This is the students CD set for those studying with the textbook (PB888) and the workbook (PB890) for part I of the Genki series (lessons 1 to 12). This is a highly recommended purchase as it is excellent listening practice necessary for training your ears for the Japanese language, as well as practicing your own Japanese speaking. There are two CDs in this set: Disk 1 (73:35) covers the dialogue and vocabulary in the textbook -- read along with the dialogue and repeat the vocabulary. Disk 2 (40:50) has exercises for the listening comprehension questions in the workbook, suitable for testing your hearing and listening abilities. These 2 CDs are housed in a clam-shell case and contain a guide as to which track pertains to which page in the textbook or the workbook.

Texts to help study for this important test are hard to come by even in Japan. This book is for practicing the kinds of questions that will be on the test, in the format you are likely to see then test when you write it. With 10 different tests to sharpen your skills, including the themed essay, listening and short reading sections. A CD is included for the listening sections, and a detachable booklet is included containing the answers for the multiple choice questions and the scripts for the listening exercises.

Beginning kanji study needn't be difficult -- this new series by Alc (who also produce the only monthly magazine for Japanese language study directed at students, the Nihongo Journal) allows us to master the essentials of kanji, covering levels 4 and 3 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, with only 15 minutes of practice a day! Each lesson contains 6 kanji. Each kanji is introduced with onyomi and kunyomi (the Chinese and Japanese pronunciations. Each kanji also has sample words made with that kanji along with sample sentences to practice understanding and reading in context. Finally, the writing of the kanji is shown (with stroke order) and you are given space to practice writing the kanji. In the second section of the book are short quizzes that test your understanding, and an answer key and index are included. The two volumes together help you learn 555 kanji, and translations are given in English, Chinese and Korean as well. An excellent way to learn kanji -- in small daily doses kanji practice is incredibly manageable and fun at the same time without getting over your head, and if you practice every day, within 3 months you will have a mastery over the kanji necessary for the two lower levels of the JLPT as well as a head start on 2nd level kanji. This purchase is for Volume One (Jou), the first half of this course. 190 pages, perfectbound. Recommended Level: Beginner, but as there is no romaji, the student should be able to already read hirogana and katakana before starting this course.

Mastering Japanese kanji is essential to success in learning the Japanese language. Learning kanji is not only important to be able to read and write the Japanese language, but it is also important in order to proceed to advance levels of study. The reason why is that you will have great difficultly finding upper level textbooks and other courseware that continue to use romaji and kana to indicate the readings of kanji.

White Rabbit Press' top-selling Japanese Kanji Flashcards have helped thousands of Japanese language learners, in as many as 23 countries, master Japanese kanji. For just a few cents per card, our meticulously designed and researched cards save you countless hours by bringing together all the information you need to master Japanese kanji in a convenient flashcard format to make study and drills as efficient as possible.

Each White Rabbit Press kanji flashcard includes six commonly used kanji compounds -- that's more than any other product -- because we believe that the essence of a kanji is best grasped by understanding the meanings it forms when combined with other characters. Our cards also include the kanji's on and kun readings, stroke order diagrams, look-alike kanji, the reading of each example word in kana scripts with definitions in English, and more.

Additionally, White Rabbit Press kanji cards are the only kanji cards on the market that provide complete preparation for the kanji portion of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT).
