To be honest, my professor said that Genki isn't a very good series for learning Japanese... I never used Genki 1, but used Genki 2 when I studied abroad in Japan and I guess it was okay, but I could kind of see where my prof was coming from. All the dialogues are kind of silly, especially considering that by the time you really learn Japanese you'll want to be using it for business, not for being an exchange student in high school... But by all means, it *is* a place to start, so go for it. I just wanted to mention that side too.

Oh, and the work book is filling out questions for listening comprehension, reading comprehension, and sentences for learning vocab and grammer. Also in the back is kanji practice.
