  • All bases covered!

    There are plenty of books available on this topic, some only covering either Hiragana or Katakana. This covers both. Introduces both slowly and clearly with plenty of exercises and writing practice. This is a 'workbook' so it's intended that you write in the book as you progress each stage. As such, if you chose to do so, it wouldn't be a book you could sell on once finished with. However, there are are multitude of free practice sheets and exercises available to download on the Internet so you can keep your book pristine. The book has downloadable content including a set of flash cards for both Kanas that you can print out. Tip, print on 150g paper or card if printing double sided, or print on 80g single sided and glue front and rear sheets to each side of card. Finally, you needn't pay much for this book. There are plenty of second-hand book outlets where you can pick up a copy in excellent condition for no more than £3! Nonetheless, even at £10 or more, it's a highly recommended book to learn Hiragsna and Katakana.
