Excellent book. You'll be writing hiragana in no time. (Whether you remember it or not, that's another story. But that's not the fault of this book.)

I thought this book was great. It was a textbook for a Japanese course I took many years ago and I learned Katakana - at the time. Don't remember much now but I use it when I run across some words in Katakana I have this one and the Hiragana one. I would recommend them. It sped up the learning curve a bit for me.

Note from Oct 2015: Tucked in this book is a piece of paper with my practice writing on it. It then has a section in English with my Saturday to do list. Iron, recycle newspapers, show more study Japanese, and buy a spading fork. This is followed by another line that says "Wish I could just sleep in". I haven't changed. show less
