The learning of the language can transform you from a wanderlusting foreigner teacher into an-out-of-the-box entrepreneur or trader in a blink.

Comment on Best Japanese Textbooks by V10 Japan

Hello, Danielle! I’m glad you stopped by I’m in Tokyo right now, and while shopping at a book store, I noticed an entire shelf devoted to Minna No Nihongo. So, I decided to get the intermediate book so I’ll have study material when I return to the states (currently progressing through Genki 2). You are right, it looks like a very good textbook. I will probably do a upper beginners Japanese textbook guide, or at least, revise this one and mention Minna No Nihongo if their intermediate book is up to par! I need to give the textbook a fair go before advising it in order to give a recommendation. Thank you very much for your advice

I also just stumbled onto your blog and thought I should mention the Minna No Nihongo series. I studied in Tokyo last summer, and these were the books they used at my Japanese language school. They are geared toward Japanese language learners in Japan, and are given to students from all over the world. They are different because there are no English translations. The idea is that you start reading and writing and (eventually) thinking in Japanese right from the start. They can be found on Amazon in kana and romaji formats, though it is highly recommended that you take the time to learn kana and go right for the kana editions. (With a basic kana textbook and some homemade flashcards, I think you could master hiragana and katakana in a month’s time if you take about 20 minutes a day.) You must also purchase the English guide with the kana edition so that you get the vocab lists as well as English explanations of the sentence structures.
Goodluck!

I’m a freshman college student but I never finished the year, I only took the first semester then I had an Absent without Leave (AWOL). I started attending a short course in Spanish Language at a private institution till I finished my sub-level 2 (of level 1). Do you know of any scholarship which I may qualify for? I’m interested in studying in Japan or somewhere in United States but as I read their requirements it appears to me that they are looking for a full-time high school senior, a high school graduate, a sophomore college, a college graduate or a college student currently attending college. As what I have mentioned, I’m no longer attending college and I only completed the first semester of my first year. Do I have any chances of getting a scholarship abroad with this kind of profile? I don’t want to turn hopeless despite the several “no”, “none” and “duh” I received. Please help me.

Hi there I just stumbled upon your blog today, I’m very interested in learning Japanese ^_^/ I like your reviews! I’ve been learning how to speak Japanese with videos on youtube for a while now, but I really need to find some material to help me with the writing process. I can speak beginner Japanese, but I can only write in Romaji XD (which I don’t even think counts!)
I’m going to look into the books you’ve recommended here. ~Thanks!

LOL! Very funny in
recommending the soy sauce! Oh well, it tastes better. Anyways, Congratulations
for your foreign scholarship grant! Such opportunity rarely comes and you are
lucky the door opened. As they always say, “Lightning doesn’t strike in
the same place twice.” So, I hope you’ll have fun there, to learn more of their customs and
literatures. =)
