desertcart.com: Korean for Beginners: Mastering Conversational Korean (CD-ROM Included): 9780804841009: Amen, Henry J., Park, Kyubyong: Books

Review: An excellent beginning Korean language textbook... - I purchased the paperback edition from a local bookstore more than 4 years ago, but never progressed beyond using it to practice writing the hanguel characters. I did this off and on over the years. I liked that the (한글) characters were presented clearly with the proper stroke orders and directions. In the last few months, my interest in learning Korean has picked up. I went back and started reading the book all over again from scratch, progressing from chapter to chapter. I just finished a quick once-through the book, but am now going back and am studying for detail and retention. I intend to take copious notes at a mostly private website I recently started - to help me learn and organize what I learn. This will help me review and retain. I like the book's consistent use of romanization and its clear presentation of pronunciation "rules" (which I prefer to think of as "guidelines"). There is a lot of grammar that I glossed over the first time, which I plan to make more time for the second time around. For me, it is an excellent beginning textbook - it lays a great foundation. I will build upon what I learn from it, adding a little hanja along the way. (I have since purchased the Kindle edition from desertcart, but mostly use the paperback.)
Review: THIS PRODUCT IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!! I ONLY NOTICED ONE DEFAULT Addressed near the bottom of my rate - This product although i'm only on chapter five is well worth the money!!! With this book and the help of my Korean friend to sound out the words which i could have done with the CD i have learned to read Korean and my vocabulary is growing!!!!!! The book is also not written in boring text but like a conversation. They have a dictionary in the back, a chart to help with vowels and constants in the front .. Pictures, interesting tid bits a CD and im just taking a guess since i haven't finished the whole book but i bet they cover all the bases . Right now they are even talking about parts of speech and how to identify them GREAT PRODUCT .. ONLY THING THAT I NOTICED WRONG was that the CD was missing 1-3 which is alot because it numbers off like 1.1 1.2 etc etc 1-3 sound bites were missing from the Cd which means i would not know how to pronounce those words for the time being (or would not be sure). this book is also written by a Korean who learned English and an american who learned Korean ..:) so they know what you will struggle on and try to address it in the book GOOD LUCK

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great introduction to the language
*by J***I on April 5, 2015*

I like this book a lot. I've been trying to learn '' for several months and although I had memorized all the letters, I was struggling to remember all the various pronunciation rules and to gain speed in recognizing them so that I could achieve word recognition. I found Amen's and Park's explanations very easy to understand and, more importantly, very easy to put into practice. The tone is engaging, and I appreciation the combination of language teaching and introduction to aspects of Korean culture. Some of the negative reviews commented on the non-traditional order in which concepts are introduced (introducing grammar concepts before basic greetings). I actually chose this book based in part on that description. I am in the US trying to learn Korean so that I can read Korean novels (and understand Korean movies/tv), and I really just want to understand as quickly as possible how the language is structured so that I can start to read/listen to the language. For my purposes, the organization of this book is a pleasant change from language textbooks that force you through greetings and basic conversations before teaching you how to recognize nouns and verbs. I also appreciate seeing emoji in a text about how language is used to communicate. Online communication is a huge part of daily life, and I like that the authors acknowledged that in creating this textbook. I bought Elementary Korean and its workbook along with this text because I knew I would want more practice exercises than a single book would provide, but I'm starting with this one, and I'm very, very happy with it.
