![]() But, other than the way that Yookoso decides to handle kanji within this textbook, it's a very good start to anyone's Japanese Language journey. ![]() It also shelters you from kanji use very often within this textbook by giving the reader words that are supposed to be written in kanji in "hiragana" or "katakana". By the end of Yookoso! An Invitation to Contemporary Japanese, you have only been introduced too and learned around 170 kanji, which is a fairly low number compared to the 1,945 jouyou, or common use, kanji that you will eventually need to know. The only failing that I can see in the Yookoso textbooks, is their failure to teach you enough kanji. ![]() Overall, I like Yookoso, it does a pretty good job in laying out grammar patterns, vocab, and even cultural notes in a simple and easy to understand format. I just finished using this textbook at the end of last year when I completed my Japanese 201 class. Yookoso! An Invitation to Contemporary Japanese, is the first part of McGraw Hill's Japanese Language textbook series.
