The red book is the kookoo seikatsu  book 2 by keiko aitchison. Is this the same as the Wakatta??

Wakatta is the thick orange book which isn't too bad. It's not koukou seikatsu.

Furbob:

Greatness:
Thanks Furbob!!! This should be very helpful :D

Furbob:
and something else to add on - if you want another textbook to work on in your own time, I suggest buying the "Genki 2" workbook (not the textbook! unless you have $50~$70 to burn, the workbook is only $25 or less)

you can easily torrent the textbook for the grammar explanations and answers and work on them. Most of the grammar is similar to the kookoo seikatsu 1&2 books but they add a little more on and throw more vocab in the sentences you have to translate.

Not to mention that there's more kanji drills too! <3 :D

Contrary to the others, I think that if you get used to being able to use your dictionary quickly it can be a useful tool in the exam.

My advice to you would be to read as much Japanese that you can -- it doesn't matter what it is -- blog posts, websites, manga, kid's books -- and make sure you look up everything you don't know. Try to get ones with furigana in them though, otherwise you''ll have major problems looking things up. Like's been said, it is horrifyingly difficult at first but it gets easier. Also, I would advise watching movies, and tv shows and so on in Japanese. Yes, the manner of speaking is very casual, but you still pick up lots of good vocab along the way, and it improves your listening skills. Even so, it's probably more useful in the long run to learn how to speak in a more casual manner, if you have an interest in Japanese as a language rather than a subject, like I do.

Textbook wise, I cannot really advise you on because I must admit, I did not touch my textbook all year, out of class. Sorry bout that.
