Minna No Nihongo Second Edition

Not that I expected less, but this is printed on classic high-quality Japanese text book paper, flipping the pages just feels luxurious. That's a bonus. If you're working through Minna no Nihongo on your own, like I currently am, this book is essential. While it's theoretically possible to learn the kana and then decipher what's going on in the red book independently, unless you're fairly adept at typing in japanese you can't really google the examples, and google translate won't necessarily teach you the same (or correct) things. If you have a teacher or aren't using the Minna no Nihongo red books... there's no point in getting this book. With a teacher, the red book is a lot easier (I used to have one... they didn't like the red Minna book but we used it alone until other text books came). This book doesn't have enough examples to stand alone as a complete text book. It really is a partner book to the red ones.

Translation and Grammar notes came in handy for the workbook ^^. Just an fyi, this book doesn’t have any information or answers for exercises A-C for each lesson. I think those come in a different book.

Excellent item

Well, laid out. Easy to understand. Nice size fonts.

I received the book and it was wrap very well, definitely new. I brought it along with the other Minna No Nihongo. This one is the translate version of the other one. I would recommend for any beginner who would like to learn using textbook.

It's a good tool to help a beginner learn Japanese

Grateful that they did a second edition, so they remove the words that werent used anymore. A great book overall.

For serious study.

This book is as recommended by the seller, and it is also very useful for those who are learning Japanese on their own. I also suggest everyone to purchase the Renshu (practice) book along with the vocabulary and grammar book. This will make learning even easier.

Heads up: this is a translation of the vocabulary & grammer, its NOT the main text book. I was confused lol

This is a really great textbook, easy to understand and a lot of valuable information in the appendix at the back. (also the textbook we're using while studying Japanese in Kyoto so that can only be a good thing.

Excelente, es completamento del libro en japonés. Se necesitan ambos pero son excelentes, mi esposo está encantando

Gutes Buch als zusatz vom Hauptteil der Reihe.
