Students forget everything? Not any longer!
This is just what you need to get started with Genki English. These sets are designed to not only make learning, and teaching, fun but to have your students remember their English for the next lesson.

Each theme is based on simple language that kids actually want to speak, rather than what the textbook wants to teach, and is presented with an original song that stays in your head, original images and mini-cards that promote discussion from the start and classroom games that make full use of the English they have learnt. Simply click the "songs/themes" menu at the top of this page to see all the themes.

Who else uses Genki English?

The Genki English Teacher's Sets have been featured on TV, radio and in countless classrooms all over the world. The British Council have licensed them and the Thailand government has put them into every school in their country. "The Last Samurai" movie star Koyuki even used them in her TV series. When you buy the set you'll have access to support in the forum and I'll try and help you as much as I can.

Each theme has its own dance or game or can be combined with any of the game ideas on this site to make English really come alive. They are a great way to introduce new ideas, to review lessons or even spice up a boring textbook!

"After only 45 minutes of high-paced, nonstop fun using games, original songs and role-play techniques, the children are already beginning to use English effectively." said the Japan Times

Whilst we'd love you to buy student packs for all your students, you don't have to.
All you need to get started is one of these Teacher's Sets.

We can, and do, deliver these sets to any country in the world.

Customer Reviews:


'I've used the Teacher's Pack for 5 years in the schools and it is fabulous. The kids love it and beg me to let them sing and dance to their favorite G.E. songs again and again. They learn fast and retain so much with the music that all of the teachers are always amazed. I can't recommend this highly enough, it is great!' - Drew K. ALT 2003-2008



"Genki songs really help with learning new vocabulary and make it really fun. Kids are always asking to redo the songs." - Carolyn, Corsica France.



"I have used Genki English in my ESL classroom in Indiana and am still using it now to Teach English in Taiwan!  Kids love it!" - Jill 
  



I'm teaching English in Japan. Kids love Genki English and never forget the songs. I can't remember how I was teaching before I bought the set. - Yumiko




Hi, I've been using Genki English material for years. I can assure you it works with the kids and saves you loads of hassle in preparation. There are tons of online printouts once you have the original material and become a member and the games are fun. - Rosebud, Germany.



I hesitated about buying the teacher's pack but finally bought it. It's great! The kids love the songs and I love using the CDs. Also after the purchase, if you have a question you can email Richard or ask it on the forum. I highly recommend Genki English! - from Yahoo Answers.



"Songs are a powerful learning tool.  Unfortunately most children's songs are too difficult for EFL learners.  GenkiEnglish has done a wonderful job of combining music with language children really want to use.  My students remember the tunes and it helps to cement the language in their memory.  The support from the site is incredible.  There have been numerous times when I or other users request a song, book, activity and it magically appears on the site. I highly recommend the GE materials." Aimee, Japan


I bought the mp3 download pack and will buy the Teachers Pack when I have more freedom in the classroom. I highly recommend Genki English because you will have fun, the kids will too and the teachers will praise you. - from Yahoo Answers.



"Creating a sensation in English education" - NHK World TV



"I have been using Genki English for about a year now and I must say it is the best I have found available for teaching young children.  The CDs are so lively which the children just love and of course at the same time they are learning English - wouldn't miss them!" - Christine, Germany



"I love the Genki English flashcards. But more importantly, my students love them too!" Mark, Japan



"Taking Primary Schools by Storm" said the Daily Yomiuri Newspaper



"Genki English songs are so catchy, even I...the teacher... can't get them out of my head." - Danielle, Japan



"Genki English is not just about Elementary School. My Kindergarten Teacher trainees love the CDs....They get right into the actions and singing the songs in class. Also, my kindy kids get so excited when I put a Genki English CD on...It's great! Thoroughly recommended." - Wendy, Japan



"Genki English?  Don't even think about going near a classroom without it." - Chris, Okinawa



Any questions?

Q: How soon can I get the package?
A: It usually takes a few hours for the card payment to clear then we send off packages every weekday. Delivery is by EMS express mail which usually means 3 to 4 days for Asia and a little longer for Europe and the Americas. Just keep in mind that sometimes, very rarely though, customs can hold up the packages for longer. If you need your Genki English right now then have a look at the download pack.


Q: Can you deliver to my country?
A: If your country is in the list here then no problem!

Q: Do I need to pay any license fee or anything to use the songs in a class? Even if students pay to join the class?
A: No. The fee to use the materials in your class is included in the price. You don't need to pay any other fees.


Q: Can I copy the files for my students or a co-worker?

A: No. All the CDs are copyrighted and you may not pass them on to anyone else. However you can make print outs of the mini-cards and worksheets for your students. But not the songs nor software. If your students would like to own the CDs, if you buy the Teacher's Set, you can also use the special Student CD Pack discount.


Q: Can I buy individual songs or a smaller set of songs?

A: You can buy individual CDs, have a look at the songs page. However it usually works out a lot cheaper to buy the set in one go!


Q: Can I hear any of the songs before I buy them?

A: Yes, of course! Just click on any of the song titles on the songs page. Most of the songs have demo versions you can listen to online, as well as lesson plans and lots of ideas on how to use them in class.


Q: What age group are these materials aimed at?

A: Originally they were designed for, and work best for, final year of kindergarten to 5th year of elementary school. But many teachers have great success with children as young as 2, and even junior high school, senior high school and adult students.


Q: How do I pay?
A: You can either pay by "Paypal" or a credit or debit card. We don't see your credit card details, everything is handled by CCNOW.com


Q: Which to go for, the Teacher's Set or the Teacher's Download pack?

A: If you're in Japan, I'd say go for the Teacher's Set, there's quite a lot more in there and there's a good chance your school will pay for it. If you're anywhere else in the world, I'd say go for the download pack, it's the fastest and simplest way to go e.g. no customs problems, no waiting for the post to arrive etc. etc. You should be ready to go for tomorrow's lessons!
