![]() We worked on transitive and intransitive verb pairs, so maybe the point is to practice those - but are we just practicing using the same form as in the question? Or are we supposed to transform them to the matching intransitive form, which the teacher very briefly mentioned in passing in class but I'm not sure whether that's a general rule or one instance? In short, there are many ways to do this exercise, but it's not remotely clear which one is intended or useful. I can write out the same sentence without the question grammar, if the point is to practice writing those words. Well, I can usually just write "Hai" and "Iie" to all of them, but that's clearly pointless.

I have to say that despite the language, I found the exercises in Minna + teacher much easier to process than Genki + teacher, particularly when it comes to homework. I had an excellent teacher, so that wasn't a problem. However, you really can't work through it independently - a teacher (or the teacher's book plus English guide) is essential. For me personally, I soon found the Japanese textbook fine as it's usually pretty clear what's going on. Genki Japanese uses English, Minna no Nihongo is Japanese-only and you must buy a separate English book if you want that support.
