I moved to Japan about 10 months ago and I needed a textbook to learn the language. I settled on the second edition of Genki and I couldn't be happier with the decision. Working your way through the textbook (and workbook) require a lot of time and dedication. That's true of any textbook, but with Genki it's even more so because the authors don't hold your hand and the book is written with the assumption that you are serious about learning Japanese. Be warned, this is not a learn-Japanese-in-a-month style book, nor an EZ-Japanese style book. No shortcuts are taken here. If you are OK with that fact, then I can't recommend this book enough.The book is divided into 2 sections: "conversation/grammar" and "reading/writing". I'll start with an overview of the conversation/grammar section, which comprises the bulk of the book.The conversation section has 12 lessons. Each starts with a short dialog or two, then a list of about 50 vocabulary words, which are broken down by word type (e.g. noun, irregular verb, etc). After that comes the grammar section which introduces new conjugations, expressions and other grammar structures. Each grammar point is explained thoroughly, yet concisely, always with examples of typical usage, and oftentimes with more examples to elucidate corner cases or common mistakes.At the end of the grammar section for the lesson, there is usually (always?) "culture notes" and "useful expressions" sections. There is much to be gleaned from both, though the "useful expressions" sections are usually outstanding and provide supplementary words and sentences on a variety of common topics, such as counting, classroom vocabulary, train station expressions and doctor office visits.Finally, each lesson ends with about 10 pages of exercises.
