3.0 out of 5 stars A Good Introduction with Shortcomings, 15 Feb 2004

By	"koko321" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Korean (Teach Yourself) (Paperback)

This book is a useful introduction into the language. It is well structured and covers many aspects of the language. The areas covered are particularly suitable for travellers and business contacts. There are, however, a number of shortcomings. Although there is an introduction to the Korean alphabet (Hangeul), the course itself is throughout romanized. This may look less daunting to the learner, but the Korean script is essential to know if you want to travel the country. Korean people will fail to understand the romanized versions of their own language and often you cannot find the signs in English (although, since the World cup this improved significantly). The romanization used is outdated and in some places not consistent. It nevertheless helps you learn the language and pronounce the words correctly. The register used is far too formal for most cases (travel and business alike). This is not a problem, because your attempts to speak the language are appreciated anyway. It does make you sound a bit more foreign, though. The book is heavy on the grammar side and some areas are not explained properly. Overall, however, the grammar bits are explained in an accessible manner. The book will introduce you to the language, and after you finish the course, you should be able to have simple conversations in Korean. There is an audiocassette with the dialogues (recommended).

4.0 out of 5 stars Good value for the money!, 15 Feb 2003

By	Dr T Burke (Turriff, Aberdeenshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Korean (Teach Yourself Languages) (Audio Cassette)

Teach Yourself Korean is good value for money. It is attractively
printed and presented. It provides a useful aid to learning both
written and spoken Korean, and at the price is probably better value for money than In-Seok Kim's "Colloquial Korean"; its main
contender for self-taught Korean. Unfortunately the material recorded on the accompanying tape occupies less volume than the recorded material provided with "Colloquial Korean".

There are 13 Chapters and a Review. The Hangul Korean alphabet system is clearly printed and the 15 pages Introduction gives
excellent instruction on reading and writing Hangul script. It
also provides more help on pronunciation than "Colloquial Korean". Another useful feature is that dialogues and vocabulary
throughout the book appear in both Hangul script as well as in Romanised Korean. This is invaluable for beginners in getting to
grips with pronunciation,but is a double-edged sword. Lazy novices might ignore the Hangul script completely and get by on Romanised Korean, but more than half the fun in learning an Oriental language is the thrill of being able to read it in its
script. In each Chapter there is also a brief cultural reference.
At the end of the book there is a list of useful websites that can be used for learning Korean...

All in all this is an attractive and useful little book that does provide good value for money. Go for it!

4.0 out of 5 stars I found it ok, but some things were bugging me..., 2 Aug 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Teach Yourself Korean (Teach Yourself (McGraw-Hill)) (Paperback)

Out of the few Korean books available out there, I'd recommend this book. It teaches the basics, and also Hangul. The thing I didn't like about it is the fact that they use romanization. And when they do use romanization, it's non-standard and inconsistent. Hangwul instead of Hangul. Wuri instead of Uri. A better alternative would be Active Korean (published by Hollym), and Colloquial Korean.

2.0 out of 5 stars romanised hangul - yuk!
I can't understand why so many Korean language study books use romanised hangul. If at all serious about learning Korean, learning Hangul is a pre-requisite. Read more
