There is one kanji exercise book and a grammar exercise book though. I’d say the kanji one is optional, but the grammar exercise one is useful since the main book does not contain any.
Yes, I am referring to the set of three, the main book, the grammar workbook, and the kanji workbook, as detailed within the first post in this topic.
UPDATE: I have placed the order for the three books via the US Kinokuniya web site - including following their fairly arcane process for supplying the gift card info with the order (and the final order confirmation shows no indication of the gift card having been specified - apparently gift card fulfillment online is a manual process, hope it works as advertised).
Assuming no problems arise, it will likely be a matter of a few weeks before I actually see the books. That’s OK with me - I’m not in any hurry.
After a long time, I have finally done some work again - Worked through the first reading piece and the first two grammar pages (plus exercises) ![]()
