It just happened in 2005.

I revise the workbook books every single semester. I use the photos generously contributed
by my students I travel together with across Japan and this year was no exception! This has
been my pleasure and a huge committment since that summer of 2005. I enjoy this very much
and sometimes I can't get out of this activity very easily. Memories come and go, and I am sure
my students are the same way though we never talked about it.

Many of the recent photos used in a tiny sizein the book are being shared in the facebook of
which I became a memberby a student's invitation. You will see many of the photos taken by
the students and myself. We are always a wonderful group^_^v. Lately I try to post my responses
in Japanese there. I feel so fortunate to have such wonderful students who care about the
classmates even after they finish the course.

This workbook was originally created based on the sequence of Genki I. If you are interested
in knowing about the workbooks, please contact me, since it's not in the market.

This is how I re-cycle the files, pdf or word files, depending on what I do in the classroom:
I took all the images out (you can get the images by saving as web, in order to get the images
that are used in the word file only) and put these images of hiragana, katakana and kanji in separate folders.
Now you have treasuers to play with in the classroom. There are a multiple ways to use these files.

The power of images is strong. I can personaly put these images in to a tiny machine called
naniittendo that students love and play with it on your own.

The benefit of using this workbook is endless. And I love using these files myself.

(The book has a different ISBN number each semester and sold at the campus bookstore at
Palomar College) We do not have any stocks but you can contact them or contact me.
