The 2nd, revised version of this textbook came out earlier this year, and it's also for sale on this website.

The 2nd has improved over this version in every way, so there's no reason to buy this text anymore.

Genki: a great beginner resource

The most popular textbook series I have encountered.

It takes basic Japanese in a slow, steady, easy to understand manner. Best suited for students that are interested in more classroom type Japanese instead of business Japanese.

Definitely recommend Genki 1 and 2 as a course to cover basic Japanese, and bring you up to an upper beginner, lower intermediate level.
