There are thousands of books that teach Japanese; we will recommend the best ones and leave a complete catalog of them in this article.

If you really want a Japanese language book in Portuguese, we first need to know what your priority is. Do you want to learn Japanese for travel? Our list recommends several quick guides. Do you want to learn the basics of the Japanese language? The books in this article can help.

Some people mainly want to buy dictionaries; there are several mentioned in this article. Now, regarding books that teach grammar, you will also find them below, but these books usually do not teach advanced Japanese ideograms and do not facilitate your memorization.
