5.0 out of 5 stars excellent intro to both written & spoken korean language, 3 Jul 2001

By	richard@mansfieldpark.freeserve.co.uk (Eastbourne, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Elementary Korean (Hardcover)

This is an excellent book for those who are wishing to study the Korean language.

It is clearly set out, never letting you feel as if you have been pushed in at the deep end as so many language books do.

Compared with several other guides to Korean which concentrate purely on the spoken word and rely heavily on phonetic transcription, Elementary Korean introduces the the Korean writing system (Hangul) from the start. [Be warned however - there are in excess of 1500 characters of Chinese origin (Hanji) that are regularly used in written Korean that this book does not cover so you will need to invest in other material if you intend to pursue the study of Korean beyond the elementary level.]

There is a useful CD that accompanies the book included in the back cover which is of the same high standard as the rest of the book.

If you are considering the study of Korean for any purpose be it educational/business/pleasure then I would hghly reccomend the purchase of this useful book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Better books out there..., 12 Feb 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Elementary Korean (Hardcover)

This book is for people wanting to study Korean at an intermediate level. The book starts off with phrases that are transcribed into the international phonetic alphabet (IPA), which having no prior knowledge to this can be difficult (you need to learn the Korean alphabet not the IPA!) Also the exercises and answers in the back of the book do not match. This seems to be an error in the editing, but it is still not acceptable for a 25 pound book. This is not a problem if you have someone to show you, however if you are studying alone it can become very confusing.
The book is quite expensive, other books such as Colloquial Korean (Routledge) are a much better way to start studying Korean language.

4.0 out of 5 stars very helpful, 25 April 2006

By	L. N. L. Thian "Leonie" (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a very good,self explainatory book. Even though some of the comments in the book itself might sound scarry. For example, after certain chapter and you still cannot manage to grasp it, the author actually asks you to give up! But it serves as a motivator to me.
Very clear, from beginner to more advanced level explaination are given.
but one must be keen and constantly doing the study!
