Free online courseGenki Japanese Grammar Course for Beginners

Course Description

Learn Japanese grammar from the ground up with this free beginner-friendly course built around the Genki textbook progression. Step by step, you will move from essential sentence patterns to the structures needed for everyday communication, with explanations designed to make confusing points feel clear and usable.

Start with core building blocks such as basic word order, asking questions, and key particles used to mark topics and objects. As you advance, you will practice forming natural sentences while developing an intuitive feel for how Japanese grammar differs from English.

Continue through foundational verb and adjective usage, including practical conjugation patterns and the te form, then expand into comparisons and more complex expressions. The later lessons guide you into lower-intermediate territory with grammar commonly associated with JLPT N5 to N4, including the potential form for expressing ability, plus polite language such as honorific and humble expressions. Ideal for self-study learners who want a structured path, clear grammar breakdowns, and a solid base for reading, listening, and conversation.
