I’m currently studying Japanese at like an N5-N4 level I would say (I’m in senior year highschool AUS), not too sure since they teach structure and grammar mainly different from JLPT. I would say I can understand (listening and writing) basic casual conversations (I.e weekends, interest, gossip etc) I can write kind of the same level and speaking I haven’t had a lot of practice so I’m really basic basic level there. Vocab wise I know simple words, nothing too complex like international relations or diplomatic. Grammar I’ve been learning a mix of N3 and N4 mainly, N2 very little tho…it appears. 

I’ve been trying to find resources mainly like workbook to work through grammar and reading but haven’t really found any that are like on par with the skill level being taught. I have seen some JPTL booklets but i don’t really know if it’s worth 50$ to buy one and then find out too late that it’s either too advanced or too easy. (But if anyone knows it’s worth it please lmk) I’ve found two that I think might be okay but both cost around 50-60$AUD so I’m kinda stuck on which one to get, they are the genki and tobira one. They seem to have different structure but the tobira one focuses on listening, grammar and vocab. I didn’t check the Genki one for any skill focus, if anyone has some insight to these workbook or even have a better option please let me know! 

which workbook is best
