Workbook/Lab Manual to accompany Yookoso!: Continuing with Contemporary Japanese » (3rd Edition)

Yookoso! Continuing with Contemporary Japanese is the second volume of a two-volume series for beginning Japanese courses. Based on modern principles of second-language acquisition, Yookoso! 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.
