A vocabulary practice workbook to be used in conjunction with Minna no Nihongo Chukyu II Honsatsu (Minna no Nihongo Intermediate II Main Text), it enables the learner to confirm, organize and firmly fix in his/her mind the new vocabulary found in each chapter of the Main Text.

There are exercises to confirm the reading of the all the new vocabulary, regardless of whether the learner is from a kanji or non-kanji using country. Various types of exercises are employed to keep an often dull part of language learning interesting. An answer column is provided on the right-hand side of each page, and various exercises on the same page allow the learner to practice, in terms of reading and meaning, the same word two or three times.

The book is also useful for the instructor to check the learner's language acquisition level, to ensure the learner is getting most out of class.

It comes with a star graded list of the new vocabulary, from three stars (You really need to remember) to no stars (Would be good if you knew), at the end of each book to clarify learning goals for the learner.
