do you have any suggestions on the best workbooks that can help in learning, writing, and talking in Japanese? more the one book is fine, thank you :)

Books & Links to guide your journey in learning Japanese language!

Note: Each set of books is for specific purpose.As a tip, it’s better to focus on one skill at a time. It’s recommended to work on grammar before focusing on learning kanji. With that in mind, here we go!:

…………………………………………

Basic stuff!• Easily learn Hiragana • Easily learn Katakana • Introduction about kanji before you start to learn them

…………………………………………

Book set to master basic Japanese (recommended)• TRY! N5 grammar with CD • TRY! N4 grammar with CD• 500 Questions for N5-N4 Practice + grammar review• Dictionary for Basic Japanese Grammar

If you’re unsure of which book to buy, this set is all you need. The amount of time require to finish this set would be around 4 - 8 months. The dictionary is complimentary but so worth to have!

One step further:• TRY! N3 grammar with CD • 500 Questions for N3 Practice + grammar review>> Check out the details of this book set

…………………………………………

Hone Kanji reading skills• Books to learn & practice kanji >> How to use the book

Indepth Kanji study• Book to guide you to remember kanji easily with mnemonics (for beginners)• Kanji dictionary learners (to guide you on each kanji usage)

…………………………………………

Japanese Conversation/Speaking skill• Basic survival conversation & situation–> this book teach basic survival grammar!• Learn Japanese with conversation (shadowing technique)>> Learn more about both books here

…………………………………………

Reading practice material• Ghibli’s Story book - [Full post]• Easy to read Japanese Manga  - [Full post]• Bilingual Doraemon manga  - [Full post]>> More books & review here

…………………………………………

Another set to master basic Japanese grammar:

Note: It’s not effective to have a different set of similar book, just pick the set you like the most. If you like Genki better, get a genki set and so on~

If you ask our opinion, Genki is easier with a more detailed English explanation but explained from English point of view.

While minna no nihongo is a very immersive study book but will confuse and discourage some people.

Our recommendation Try set above is somewhere in the middle. It’s immersive but not to confusing and each grammar is explained from Japanese point of view~

Minna no nihongo

• Minna no Nihongo Beginners Part 1 book (N5-N4)• Minna no Nihongo Beginners Part 2 book (N5-N4)• Minna no Nihongo set review & links

Genki • Genki 1• Genki workbook 1• Genki 2• Genki workbook 2• Answer key for workbook 1&2

…………………………………………

Hope this helps! Happy learning ｡ﾟ✶ฺ.ヽ(*´∀`*)ﾉ.✶ฺﾟ｡

Honestly, I love the feeling of gradually growing more fluent in a language? How your strength with it slowly builds month to month? How you start off only being able to say 5, 6, 7 words, and it grows to be 50, 60, 70, 500? And how how far practicing a language for six months can take you? I love languages so much guys you don’t even know

My spread this week is a lil messy but I’m still obsessed with these flowers. They make me think of warm weather, which is well needed since it’s supposed to snow here in Florence!

Saying that you speak without an accent is like saying your research paper was not typed in a font.

i have goals. and i have plans. but if those things don’t work out, it doesn’t mean i’m a failure. it just means i have to recalibrate and reassess. if one goal isn’t met it doesn’t invalidate all the other goals i will have in my life time. 

[studyblr]

you can do this. stop sabotaging yourself and your dreams. there will be risks, there will be stress, but go on and actually pursue what you want to do. you will not regret having tried, all things considered. self-doubt can destroy so much of your life. don’t let it, please.
