Should i learn the vocab and do the exercises in the Genki 1 textbook?

Japanese Language

I’ve managed to finish lesson 1 in under 2 days with Tokini Andys Guide. But there are still many exercises left, should i do them? It will probably cost me an hour or two in which i could already start lesson 2

I usually do some exercises and move on when I’m bored with them. You can always come back later if you notice a concept is weak in your mind.

Since it’s only lesson 1 and you’re new to the language, I would go ahead and do the exercises. You can reevaluate later if they’re not helping you (I didn’t do the exercises when I read through Genki 2, for example). The vocabulary they introduce is useful, so yeah, study it, but don’t feel like you have to learn it 100% before you move on.
