I have some materials specific to studying and even N1 textbooks, and honestly I've never spent much time with them because I'm not a very motivated self studier.
#Minna no nihongo how to
I have a box of various textbooks and back home, the only ones I remember fondly are " Cultural Episodes" by Japan Times (a series of increasingly challenging essays, the cover in the link is different from the edition I have but from the reviews I think it's the same book), 日本人の知らない日本語 (super interesting and great reading practice) and How to Sound Intelligent in Japanese, which I obviously never finished reading (HAH self-own), but found entertaining because it mostly talked about the theories of Japanese, which I enjoy. I didn't use minna no nihongo (I was too GENKI), but once you've cleared the intermediate learning materials, there are a lot of materials you can use to improve your Japanese. I hope this is useful to you, and good luck! As with all learning systems, however, the benefit one derives is proportional to the effort one puts in. I think on the whole the Minna beginner series is well designed, and can work for independent learners. My layman's opinion is that if you were to complete the Minna beginner series, you would be comfortable with some basic and useful Japanese constructions, and you'd be acquainted with some necessary vocabulary, but you would in no way be considered fluent or highly functional. You can google Japanese Language Proficiency Test to find out what the various levels are supposed to mean. Completion of the Minna lower intermediate series would be equivalent to JLPT 3 verging on 2. My understanding is that completion of the beginner series would be the equivalent of JLPT level 4 knowledge. Hello! There are two Minna levels, "beginner" and "lower intermediate".Įach level comprises two main textbooks, so both levels require working through four textbooks in all.
