The workbook and textbook editions, give the learner a good foundation to a language that many foreigners would find very complicated to start. It encourages the learning of the native hiragana, foreign katakana and Chinese influenced kanji, which fair committed practice, makes learning the writing more palatable. The accompanying cds help greatly with pronunciation and listening. One con, is that the book doesn't show the steps how to write the characters.
