Genki 2 An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese (Textbook) Revised 3rd Edition

This is the revised third edition book in one of the most highly regarded Japanese textbook series: Genki: An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese. The book is divided into 23 themed chapters and covers speaking, listening, reading, and writing to cultivate overall language ability. It places emphasis on balancing accuracy, fluency, and complexity. The third edition includes many improvements. Each lesson in the revised edition features a new section called “Culture Notes" that further enhances students' knowledge of Japan and the Japanese culture through information on daily life in Japan. The vocabulary has also been updated with more modern and useful vocabulary. Even though the grammar points presented in the volume are the same, the explanations have been revised and are now even easier to understand. In the revised edition, negative forms of adjectives and noun phrases that are more common in everyday life have also been updated. The number of communicative practice materials such as dialogues has been increased to give students more grammar practice and the readings in the Reading and Writing section have also been updated to make them more relevant to modern Japan. Lastly, audio aids which were previously sold separately, now can be downloaded for free from the publisher's site.
