Korean (2 Rev ed)

This course in Korean is designed for anyone who wants to progress quickly from the basics to understanding, speaking and writing Korean with confidence.

Aimed at those with no previous knowledge, it can also be used by anyone wanting to brush up existing knowledge or refresh rusty language skills for a holiday or business trip.

Key structures and vocabulary are introduced in 14 thematic units, progressing from introducing yourself and dealing with everyday situations to travelling and making complaints.

The emphasis is on communication throughout with important language structures introduced through dialogues on the accompanying recording.

The dialogues focus on real-life situations which feature authentic Korean as it is spoken on the street.

The explanations draw comparisons with English to illustrate how Korean is both similar and different, rather than introducing a lot of grammatical terminology.

There are plenty of exercises to practice the language as it is introduced and two review units to help monitor progress.

The dialogues are given in the Korean script and a romanized version and a section at the back of the book gives English translations.
