Minna no Nihongo Shokyu 1 Dai 2: Han Hyojun Mondaishu

This is just the exercice book!

This is the exercise book, not text book. If you can read Japanese, you probably already know this, but if you're learning which is the point of the books, it's fairly unhelpful not to have this in the description.

Good basic book for learning Japanese. The one has no English innit, which means it is suitable for everyone who wants to learn Japanese for real, but you need to learn Hiragana and Katakana first to understand the grammar in this book.

Exactement ce que j’avais besoin pour mes cours à l’université. Un peu cher mais c’était le meilleur prix neuf que j’avais trouvé.

Product as discribed. Beautiful printing with high quality papers. Very useful workbook to practise grammars mentioned in the main text book.

I was expecting a kanji workbook for some reason (as I thought the three workbooks in the series were grammar, reading, kanji) but this is definitely not a kanji workbook at all. Their reading workbook also uses kanji, but their grammar workbook doesn't use kanji until chapter 11 (literally only kana, unlike the text book). So this is really just another Minna Ni Nihongo grammar Workbook. Perhaps this workbook is more steered towards Chinese students of Japanese, since they're much more comfortable with the kanji than the kana... I'd hope the introduction clarifies the purpose of the workbook, but the series hasn't taught me enough Japanese to read it yet. That being said - it's not simply a duplicate of the grammar workbook, it's actually got unique questions. So it's not a complete waste of paper, especially if you are like me and like the drills and practice. The snail-paced shipping (well over a month, and no tracking number) was a bit much, but not the fault of the material itself. All in all, I don't regret purchasing it, but it's not enough material that it would be worth purchasing again and it's not clear at all why this workbook exists or why the other grammar workbook (which has more material, if in kana for the first half) exists or why they're written the way they are. It's also a bit slim on material, so it doesn't really stand alone... I could see a teacher using it for quizzes or tests though the answers are provided in the back. If you're learning Japanese on your own and using the MNH series, this is more practice and may be useful for self-testing, but don't wait on the shipping to start learning - use what you have and review/catch up with this one when it finally arrives. I'd say if you're struggling and looking for extra help, the other grammar workbook in the series might be better (due to the kana-only in the first 10 chapters and the larger volume of material). If you're not using the MNH series, there's no point in using this workbook at all.
