Hi everyone, please correct me if I’m wrong, but I know the the Genki books are entirely written in Japanese. The workbooks are bought separately in English. However, does anyone know if these workbooks come in other languages?
This course seems to be quite prominent so I still don’t understand how I haven’t found the answer to this question. I’ve tried looking, but I’m probably missing something. Thx.

Everything in Genki that can be written in English is written in English. You can check some sample pages [here](https://omgjapan.com/products/genki-1-an-integrated-course-in-elementary-japanese-textbook-revised-3rd-edition?_pos=8&_sid=efaff6499&_ss=r). You might be thinking of Minna no Nihongo.

I have never heard of non-English editions. But again you might be thinking of Minna. The grammar notes for MNN are in fact [available in French](https://www.amazon.fr/Minna-nihongo-Shoky%C3%BB-Traduction-grammaticales/dp/4883196453/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_fr_FR=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=1X2PRAI59FI7U&keywords=minna+no+nihongo+francais&qid=1662307801&sprefix=minna+no+nihongo+francais%2Caps%2C105&sr=8-1).
In French you can look at manekineko and “le japonais en manga”
Neither of these have audio though.
Then there is the classic assimil.

Also heard lots of good things about this one, though I never tried it. (and it’s a super heavy book) [https://www.amazon.fr/Manuel-japonais-livre-CD-MP3/dp/2360570196](https://www.amazon.fr/Manuel-japonais-livre-CD-MP3/dp/2360570196)
I think you mixed up Minna no nihongo and Genki.
Genki is in Japanese and English, for mnh you have the entire book in Japanese and an extra one with explanations/vocab and everything (there are different languages available).
