Totally worth it!
This is an excellent book, I recommend this book, if you are a beginner I suggest you also take courses with smile nihongo academy. If you are new to hiragana and katakana I suggest that you get some tracing paper to help perfect your hand with writing Japanese alphabet and complicated kanji.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
