I'm not sure what the other reviewer (there's only two of us as of my writing this) is talking about - there's no Kanji in this workbook until chapter 11, when the text book starts using Kanji much, much earlier. There are very rarely instructions at all and when there are instructions it's a sentence in japanese, chinese, english, and korean, so difficult to miss. For the ones without instruction, there's always an example and it's really intuitive - every once in a while it's a mystery but 99% of the time it's fairly obvious. The material content itself really well aligns with the companion text book. If you're working your way through the companion text book, and want extra practice, this is worth it in my opinion. It's got solutions in the back, and every once in a while a review section. Frustratingly, the review sections (first one after chapter 7) don't align with the review sections in the text book (first one after chapter 3) or the reading comprehension book (first one after chapter 5). Perhaps this is staggered so that a student using ALL of them will hit a review section every other week in some fashion? I'm not sure, and it's not explained. I like better integrated materials than that, plus the rare mystery exercise, thus the missing star. Otherwise, I love this whole series and this workbook is no exception. I'm working on this mostly by myself (no class, just a tutor once a week), so I really appreciate the extra practice.

Fast deliver, but is it just me or do these books usually come unwraped? No harm done to the books though!
