Best Japanese Workbooks for Beginners: 16+ Free PDFs

These are writing practice workbooks. So, if you’re concerned that you’ll need to go looking for Japanese workbook answers… no worries.

Just click on the download icons above to download each workbook.

Then print them out.

And practice writing out Japanese words and phrases on the inside.

If you’re a beginner…

Then you should start with the alphabet and download our alphabet workbook. Most schools take a week to teach you the alphabet. But here, you’ll master it all in an hour or less.

Just practice writing out the letters inside the book.

Once you’re done with the alphabet, move on to our Japanese lessons and the other Japanese PDF workbooks.

Part 1 — Learn: In the first part, you’ll get the Japanese words and their meanings. Your job is to just read through, get acquainted, and write them out in the provided space.

Part 2 — Practice: In the second part, you get the Japanese words and phrases without translations. Your job is to write the English translation here. You can glance at part one for answers if you don’t yet remember the meanings.

Part 3 — Test: In the 3rd part, you get just the translation. Your job is to try and remember the Japanese word and write it out on the provided line. Try not to look at the answers.

By the end, you’ll remember Japanese better because you’ve practiced and have been tested.

You can also print out several copies of the Japanese workbook PDFs for extra practice.

1. Practicing and “using” the language is the fastest way to improve.
2. You’ll easily memorize Japanese thanks to the practice.
3. You’ll be able to speak and understand more Japanese, as a result.

You want to learn Japanese, right?

Well, the best way to learn Japanese and use it confidently… is through practice. You can’t just just listen to Japanese and hope it sticks. You’ll still need to produce the language, whether through speaking or writing. And practicing using Japanese is what will make Japanese feel natural to you… and take you to fluency.

That’s where these workbooks come in.

With these workbooks, you’ll master must-know words, phrases, and grammar rules. And, you’ll get to practice using these words — so that they get stuck in your head for good. The goal of our workbooks is three-fold:

1. Teach you new words, phrases, expressions, and grammar rules.
2. Let you practice writing them out.
3. And test you on how well you remember the words and phrases.
