Here I compiled a list of the best books to learn Japanese to help you choose the best ones for you so that you don’t need to waste a lot of time jumping from one book to the other, as I did in the beginning.

Especially if you are a non-native English speaker I highly recommend you to start with Minna no Nihongo, as Japanese is not an easy language, and the easier material for you to understand, especially in the beginning, the better.
