Summary: The first step on the road to Japanese proficiency
Comment: The first step to learning Japanese is to learn kana, both hiragana and katakana. It is just like learning the Alphabet. The more difficult Kanji comes only after mastering the two basic writing systems. All quality Japanese books will use a kana base, rather than a romaji (English writing of Japanese) base.
Kana learning is incredibly simple, and is basically learning the strokes, then getting a good workbook for practice. I found the "Beginner's Kana Workbook" to be an excellent tool in kana acquisition, with appropriate exercises for both writing forms. Also, hiragana and katakana are combined in one book, as they should be, for a good price.

Summary: A good practice book
Comment: The beginner's kana workbook is clear and neat and it gives the right order for the pen strokes to be done. It also has an appealing global approach to kana and includes a final section of useful ready-to-use sentences that help get started with Japanese reading.
Nevertheless it lacks of more explanations about handwritten Japanese and about the commonest variations (e.g. for the "sa" sound). The hirigana way of writing of some basic greetings words that people mostly read in the romanji form of writing are also missed.
Rating: 5
Summary: a good supplement!
Comment: Make no mistake, this book has one purpose and one purpose only: to show you how to write the japanese characters within hiragana and katakana. It has ample space to practise, and explains in what order the strokes should be for proper writing.
I found it refreshing to use to remember what each character actually means and would recommend it as a good supplement aid to any japanese language course. (personal or class)
