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
