Useless if cannot write on it!
This would be a great companion book to the text book ‘Beginning Japanese’ by the same publisher, IF you could actually write it within the Kindle e-book environment. I have an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil so stupidly thought I might be able to use this workbook to speed up Japanese learning by writing on it within (modern) e-book. Cannot write at all, cannot print pages to write...major pain!
