Japanese: The Written Language, Volume 2, Textbook
The second volume of Japanese: The Written Language (co-authored by Eleanor Harz Jorden, Mari Noda, Masayuki Itomitsu, and Ginger Marcus ) guides high-beginning learners toward proficiency in reading and composing Japanese in realistic contexts. Building on the katakana syllabary presented in Volume 1, it introduces the hiragana syllabary and 100 kanji as well as reading and writing strategies. The main text includes drills and exercises set in realistic sociocultural contexts. This is the companion workbook. Audio files are also accessible online.
