Hi everyone, you might’ve heard this question a million times before, and if so, pardon my question.
I’ve used Genki before, and my issue is that- I have no sense of direction. As in, I don’t know how to approach it. Do you go through a lesson in one sitting? do you learn all grammar points in one day? if anyone can shed some insight I’d be grateful. I know this may sound silly but it’d help me a ton in setting my scopes to the proper way. Cheers

The great thing about Genki is that there are a bunch of free resources to go along with it since it’s so popular. Definitely check out Tokini Andy’s video series if you haven’t yet:
What I did when I was going through Genki was a roughly 2 week schedule, maybe a little more when life happened.
Week 1: watched Andy’s video for a new chapter, then read the chapter’s grammar pages
Week 2: went through the chapter’s exercises on seth clydesdale’s page.
And repeat!
I didn’t use the kanji/reading sections in the back because I was doing WK and reading manga/graded readers.

I see! I will definitely check this out,
I guess as far as going through each lesson, I need to find a way to balance the amount I learn in a day. Which I guess I’ll have to figure out.
Thank you!

iirc, there was something like 5 or 6 new grammar concepts introduced per chapter? You could do one per day, which would be one week of new material, then do the exercises the second week as review. Up to you though!

Then, tomorrow I’ll start going through and go with the flow, if I see there’s more grammar points I’ll divide it up accordingly, I will rewind to lesson 1 for the sake of refreshing my memory, but I have a fairly good grasp of N5 grammar I think at least :>

Hi, just came back to this, by going though the chapter’s exercises on this
do you mean only the ‘practice’ sections I assume?
Yep! I didn’t do the vocabulary sections or the workbook sections.
