I’ve finished Genki 1 and have therefore been thinking about what to do next.
Towards the end, I had to force myself to even open the book, as I have been getting lots of input, which means that most vocab and grammar in the second half of the book, as well as the exercises and readings, was far too easy for me.
Since I’m not doing the speaking and writing exercises, and the other exercises are too easy anyways, I think that I’ve outgrown large parts of Genki. I’d finish Tokini Andy’s videos on the Genki series and maybe do some exercises on Seth Clydesdale’s website, as I see fit, but I want to push myself further.
I’d like to increase my time spent reading dramatically, which will invariably lead to me coming across more and more grammar structures.
I’ve already worked my way up to reading Satori Reader stories and easier mangas (for example the Splatoon manga), so I‘m interested in the Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar.
(I’m aware of the website, I’d just prefer an offline version)
My game plan would be to read the entries in the order of some grammar resource (Tae Kim, Cure dolly, Genki or Bunpro) and then use it to look up unfamiliar grammar structures.
If I ever need the book, the next Uni with Genki in their library is only one hour away.
I’d just like to hear what your thoughts regarding this topic are and if anyone of you has tried a similar method.
