Can anyone recommend a good Japanese langauge textbook for self study? I'm currently taking an intro class using the Yookoso! book by Tohsaku, which leaves a lot to be desired. I know kana/hiragana and will study Kanji using Remember the Kanji by Heisig. I just need a book for everything else. Thanks!

We use Genki at my university, it's pretty good. If you just want conversational Japanese, try the Pimsleur program.

haha, I was just about to recommend Genki.

Thanks for the suggestion! Is this the book you are talking about? Genki that is.

That looks like it. I never used Genki 1, I'm using 2 right now.

Cool. That seems to be the consensus. I'll see if I can get my hands on a used copy. Thanks!
