It takes "Doraemon" mannga format, which captures students attention, while maintaining solid content: dialogue development, writing, reading, vocabulary, cultural practice and products are introduced.

:::Free materials online
Most of my materials are keyed to the "Genki I" textbook, but you might find some things useful even if you don't use that book.
Podcasts for more in-depth explanations of the grammar notes in "Genki I":

Not all of the book is covered yet, but my goal is to have at least the grammar notes, vocabulary, and kanji for all of Volume I covered by the end of the US school year.
