Great Workbook!
Customer Rating:
I've have a few Japanese texts to go through (being a Japanese Major) and many of them had workbooks to go with them. This is by far the best workbook I've come across. It gives a few pages of practice instead of one page (which is what you normally get). In short, I really like this workbook, from the way it's set up to the experience you get from using it. Great Buy.
An editing disaster
Customer Rating:
I have the second edition of the workbook and the second edition of the textbook. Apparently when they edited and "simplified" the textbook nobody bothered to update the workbook. As a result, the workbook references incorrect page numbers in the textbook, and asks you to know words that no longer appear in the vocabulary lists of the text. This series also emphasizes learning kana and kanji more than other beginning books I've seen, which can be good or bad depending on why you are studying Japanese.
This book is great!
Customer Rating:
Allthough I did not purchase it on Amazon.com (I bought it when it came out in '94), I recommend wholeheartedly that you buy it now! It's THE best book of it's kind, and will do you know wrong. There are a few errors, but only experts on the subject would locate them. Allthough the culture is changing in Japan, most of this holds true today.
