Genki I: An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese by Eri Banno

4.0

Okay now can someone write a Genki but Hindi to Japanese instead of English or does it have to be me?! All of Japanese grammar makes so much sense if you speak any of the Indo Aryan or even Dravidian languages. To learn it from English which is structured quite differently is so counterintuitive to me as a speaker of the 2 other languages that are structured similarly. I did a whole lotta translation in my head instead of just using the English translation. I can understand why Japanese would be a lot harder for people who only speak English. Great book tho, looking forward to Book 2 while I continue grinding my Core 2k/6k on Anki :3
