Learn Korean – The Language Workbook for Beginners: An Easy, Step-by-Step Study Book and Writing Practice Guide for Learning How to Read, Write, and ... Pages): 1 (Elementary Korean Language Books)

I bought this book along with another and I have to say this is by far the best book I've got that i dont even go back to the other one, so easy to follow with easy to understand explanations, good references too, I've downloaded apps which are okay but always refer back to this book because it really is that good, not to thick and is all you need to know to get you going, highly recommend and you won't be disappointed for a beginner

Good book, good explanation.

Easy to understand for beginners

Good book for beginners to learn Hangul. Lots of writing exercises to practise writing the letters and letter combinations as well as flashcards to cut out and help you revise over them to remember each one. Recommend if your wanting to start to learn Korean.

I got this for my 22yr old daughter for her birthday. She loves anything K-Pop related and wants to learn Korean so this was a good call. She is already putting it to good use.

This book appears to have been extremely well planned before publication, with its well-presented, thorough approach to learning Hangul characters being the most practical possible for beginners that I have seen - with plenty of strategic encouragement from the author. Well done Jennie Lee!

The book is very helpful.

Dislikes: no audio, and without that there's no way to sound out the letters and words remotely correctly as you write them. However, in combination with other books that do have links to audio files of native speakers, plus online dictionaries, native speakers, teachers, and apps, the book can be useful.I don't like how huge the boxes are to practise the letters. They do get a bit smaller towards the end of the book, but not great if using a pencil or biro!Neutral: As for most Korean learning materials, the English used is American, which affects some of the pronunciation descriptions (and spelling, which is less relevant here). English speakers from other parts of the world just need to correct for their own accent.Likes: Once through the single characters of the alphabet, there are useful sections on combining them. It is described rather academically but I think that's how it always seems to be taught to English speakers. There's also written details given about pronunciation and also about numbers, days and months and colours. Then there's lots of lists of words and then space to write them (quite large) with no phonetic assistance to pronounce them. Useful if you already know how to pronounce things and just want to learn how to write the words. (Most students would need to learn that elsewhere and come back later to use this section).
