Japanese Workbook Vol.2

About this book

THE NEXT STEP AFTER VOL.1 — 170 NEW KANJI, 600 NEW WORDS, AND JAPAN ITSELF TO READ.

Finished the All-in-One Workbook? This is your Vol.2 — with zero overlap. Every kanji and every word in this book is new.

Inside: 170 kanji for JLPT N4 (the characters taught for N4 across the major textbooks and courses), each on its own study page with a step-by-step stroke-order build-up, a numbered stroke diagram, an example compound — and four full rows of practice squares (trace, copy, then write from memory). Then 600 new words in 20 themes — places and prefectures, festivals, food culture, shrines and traditions, work, health, travel, polite language and more — every word with a reading, romaji, meaning, a natural example sentence, and space to write it three times.

New in Vol.2: 12 culture readings. Read about the Sapporo Snow Festival, the Gion Festival, Obon, the tea ceremony, Beppu's hot springs and Fukuoka's ramen stalls — in real N4-level Japanese, with a full English translation, key words and questions on every reading. This is the part other workbooks don't give you: Japan itself, in Japanese, at exactly your level.

12,000+ guided practice squares. Review quizzes close every part, with a full answer key and a kanji index at the back. An 8-week study plan in the front matter takes you through the whole book. Stroke order for all 170 kanji verified character-by-character against the KanjiVG database.

Inside: 170 kanji study pages · 600 words with example sentences · 12 culture readings (Japanese + translation + questions) · quizzes and answer key · 8-week plan.
