This is the workbook to accompany Yookoso!: An Invitation to Contemporary Japanese. Yookoso! An Invitation to Contemporary Japanese is the first volume of a two-volume series for beginning Japanese courses. Based on modern principles of second-language acquisition it was the first beginning Japanese text to integrate the teaching of all four language skills (listening speaking reading and writing) and offer a full complement of ancillary materials. In this text grammar is treated as a tool for developing the ability to communicate in Japanese rather than as a focal point. The rich illustration program--including photographs line drawings and realia--provides an attractive context for language learning.
I had this as an assigned text, along with the actual textbook. The practice is really good, but sometimes the exercises would drag on, and I'd think, "how many times can I practice this grammar lesson??" If you can get the kanji into your practice sentences, you'll get some better practice. It's not nearly as good as practice with a real person (conversation or letters), but it'll certainly support your endeavors to study Japanese.
Awesome

It helped me a lot with my class, and though I recommend having both the book and the workbook, having just the workbook will help you learn a lot.
Great Workbook!

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.
