There are a lot of books to learn Japanese from, but not all of them are good. I even portrayed one in “Why Your Language Book is Holding Your Japanese Back” where I show what the book has, and why it is a problem for learning Japanese.
Something I came to terms with a long time ago is I learn differently than most other people so I have gone through a lot of books as I try and the books I can learn from the best, and reference. Below is a list of books I suggest and use to learn.
Text Books
- Elementary Japanese Vol 1
- Elementary Japanese Vol 2
- An Integrated Approach to Intermediate Japanese
- Dirty Japanese: Everyday Slang (not a textbook, but good reference)
I’ll be honest, I haven’t had a lot of time with intermediate japanese, but the book I do have seems good so far.
Dictionaries
Kanji Books
I hope this list helps others in what they deice to learn from, and hopefully save them some money I had to spend.

Good post as usual, I really needed some good Intermediate Japanese learning text books, also for Kanji. Though, never heard Dirty Japanese everyday slangs, will give it a try. Thanks.
