The Best Japanese Textbooks, Reference Books, and Dictionaries for Beginners

When you start a Japanese textbook, it's important you stick with it. That's why it's EXTRA important that you pick the right one from the start.

After you’ve got some kanji knowledge under your belt (about level 10 or 20 in WaniKani), it’s time to pick up a textbook and start learning the framework in which you can use all the Japanese you’ve learned.

But which textbook to choose? There are so many. And beyond textbooks, there is a wealth of reference books, dictionaries, and other things that expand on your textbook’s lessons. And you’ll need those to reach intermediate and beyond.

We’ve compiled a list of the best Japanese textbooks out there to solve this exact problem. Stop spending time searching and start studying.

Before we dive in, here’s a list of things we’ll assume all textbooks include:

Dialogues with target vocabulary and/or grammar

Vocabulary lists

Grammar explanations

Exercises

Kanji practice

We won’t mention these features in the reviews below, unless there’s something noteworthy to say about them.

Also, we won’t be talking much about the kanji learning these textbooks offer. For the most part, Japanese grammar textbooks teach kanji slowly (and sometimes poorly).

If you’re following our path to Japanese fluency, you’ll already know upwards of 650 kanji from your WaniKani lessons at level 20. With so much kanji packed in your brain, not only will these textbooks be much easier to use, but you’ll be able to skip the kanji lessons and use that time to move your Japanese ability forward in other ways.

¡你好 Langblr!

Sorry that I haven’t been uploading recently I’ve just been busy with uni preparations and stuff. I’m hoping to do some more Spanish stuff soon but in the meantime I’ve been starting to re-learn some basic Mandarin Chinese. The education system I was in “tried” to teach me Chinese throughout primary school but we never actually got to constructing even the most basic of phrases. So the language seems familiar even though I didn’t actually learn much of it previously.

The colours have been used to show what the brush stroke order is for each character. So far I’ve only learnt some basic vocab for food and weather as well as I have studied some ‘kangxi radicals’. I believe that the kangxi radicals are the smaller characters/symbols within full Chinese words/characters. So they are very useful to know as they can give hints to a unfamiliar character’s meaning. (I hope that made sense) I’m excited to learn more but I’ll have to find another app/resource to teach me Mandarin grammar because the app that I’m currently using only teaches vocab.
