Hi Japanese learners,
I’ve been learning Japanese using the みんなの日本語 series, using the second (revised) edition. And I really liked it. Now after finishing 初級１ and 初級２ I wanna switch the textbooks.
I took a look at the only currently available first edition of 中級１ and it looks pretty, pretty bad. I don’t like the structure and design of the first edition. Chapters seem to be much longer too.
Did you also study with みんなの日本語 and switched? Which books would you recommend? (if a German translation is available, I would prefer a series like that’s also available in German language)
