Purchase options and add-ons
Yookoso! An Invitation to Contemporary Japanese is the first volume of a two-volume series for beginning Japanese courses. Based on modern principles of second-language acquisition, it was the first beginning Japanese text to integrate the teaching of all four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and offer a full complement of ancillary materials. In this text, grammar is treated as a tool for developing the ability to communicate in Japanese, rather than as a focal point. The rich illustration program--including photographs, line drawings, and realia--provides an attractive context for language learning.

Yookoso! Text book.
Reviewed in the United States on 13 September 2010Verified Purchase
This workbook, though it may seem expensive, is a great purchase. The pages and print are of amazing quality, and it's a hardcover book. I have been able to successfully take notes in the book in pencil, and not smudge or dull the print when I erase it. This is obviously beneficial to those who keep their books for later revision, and to those who are looking to resell them in the future. Also, this is one of the easiest language learning book I have used. Their are many pictures to show actions, or for relation to time or place. Also, This book very quickly but carefully brings you to fluently read Hiragana and Katakana. My Instructor also mentioned, "This Yookoso! text book is used for Japanese "A" and "B" ( 1st year, 2nd year)." So this book will last you TWO CLASSES, not just one. If you would like an amazing dictionary selection to go along with your text and work book, I recommend "Kudansha's Furigana Japanese Dictionary". It will also last you many years and is of great quality.

5 stars to the seller, not the author...
Reviewed in the United States on 11 April 2016Verified Purchase
Honestly the teaching style of this text book is very old... And I wouldn't recommend it if you are learning Japanese. But chances are you're buying this book because you have to, and if I was reviewing the actual material I would give it 2 stars, maybe three. But since this is a review for the seller, the book came in excellent condition. There was a little wear and tear, but nothing that isn't expected. I've been using it for two semesters now and it's holding up fantastically.

Reviewed in the United States on 19 November 2021Verified Purchase
This is not a good book for people who want to study on their own because there are a lot of interactive exercises that requires pairing off with other students. I also think it requires a teacher to pronounce the words and clarify the discussions. Yes, they have recordings online, but it is sometimes hard to match up the recordings with the passages. They did not do a good job of labeling the online files.
If I could improve anything, it would be the organization. It's difficult for me to find things when I try to refer back to earlier chapters.
I like the cultural notes.
