Citing Pages

When citing pages from Genki, we’ll be using the following syntax.

Syntax: (VOLUME: PAGE; PROBLEM/SECTION)

Example: (Genki I: p.69; I-A)

Volume is optional when defined prior, such as in a heading that denotes a section for that specific volume. Problem/Section is optional, but if an exercise is based on a problem/section it MUST be included.

Examples

Volume and page

  • “You may want to read the Culture Note about Greetings and Bowing (Genki I: p.37)”
  • “Study Dialogue I (Genki I: p.84) and translate the conversation.”

Page and problem

  • “Practice: Numbers (p.69; I-A)”
  • “Workbook: Numbers (p.20; I, II, & III)”

Page only (volume was defined prior)

  • Volume definition: “Lesson 3: Making a Date (Genki I: p.84-101)”
  • “Vocabulary: Entertainment and Sports (p.86)”
  • “Culture Note: Japanese Houses (p.101)”
