Pros
- Working adults with short study blocks
- Learners who found Genki too dense
- Classes that already assigned it
Cons
- You want the standard university book
- You need a free course
- Your tutor already teaches Genki
Japanese for Busy People is a beginner series aimed at adults with limited time. Chapters are lighter than Genki.
Who it fits
It fits working learners who will do a short lesson well.
Limits
Lighter also means fewer drills. Irodori is the free alternative if you are not buying a book.
