Pre-Lesson Preparation (Recommended)

Before Lesson 1 begins, there are two small but helpful things you can do:­

1)  Visit the Genki Website – Study Room

It’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the Genki website, specifically the Study Room, which contains the Dialogue videos used throughout the lessons. These videos are a great way to get comfortable with the material and listening flow ahead of time.
