This workbook has been carefully designed to facilitate easy mastery of the forty-six character katakana syllabary which is used to write words of foreign origin.

Need to Learn Katakana Fast?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Introduction to Written Japanese Katakana (Tuttle Language Library) (Paperback)
I needed to learn katakana as a prerequisite for a class I wanted to take. This book was a great way to practice and learn katakana easily and quickly. You begin by tracing over greyed out characters and then advance to forming the characters on your own. You also learn about Japanese geography and new Japanese words as you learn the characters!
