Best and Comprehensive Beginner Books

I’ve been thinking of using the Quartet book series for intermediate learning, but I first need to start at the beginner or elementary level. I have the complete textbooks of Minna no Nihongo. Is that enough, or do you have some recommended books for beginners? N5-N4.

My learning plan would be:

Minna no Nihongo Beginner I

Minna no Nihongo Beginner II

Minna no Nihongo Intermediate I

Minna no Nihongo Intermediate II

Quartet Textbook I and Workbook I

Quartet Textbook II and Workbook II

Nihongo Sou-matome N3, N2, N1

  1. either minna no nihongo intermediate or quartet, both would be a “waste” as both series cover ~n3-n2, other than that this seems fine

  2. Genki and then Quartet is my personal recommendation. Supplement with the Dictionaries of Beginner and Intermediate Grammar.
