Useful Little Book 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I have the 2002 version, so I'm not sure about the differences. However, I love this book. It is very accessible to a first-time speaker of Korean. Its grammar section lays out some of the most basic rules in a clear, easy-to-follow way. It provides tons of words and phrases with Korean script, romanization, and English.

I usually think of phrasebooks as written only for travelers but more or less useless for language students. That is not the case here. I refer to this book often.

Editorial Review:

You don't need a black belt in t'aekkwondo - 'the way of the foot and fist' - to master the Korean language. Just open this book, avoid putting your foot in your mouth and talk you way to the best bulgogi in town.

Our phrasebooks give you a comprehensive mix of practical and social words and phrases in more than 120 languages. Chat with the locals and discover their culture - a guaranteed way to enrich your travel experience.

Editorial Review:

The Beginning Level texts and workbooks are the first of a four- level series (Beginning 1 and 2, Intermediate 1 and 2, Advanced Intermediate, and Advanced) developed collaboratively by leading classroom teachers and linguists of Korean. All series volumes have been developed in accordance with performance-based principles and methodology-learner-centeredness, contextualization, use of authentic materials, function/task-orientedness, balance between skill getting and skill using, and integration of speaking, listening, reading, writing, and culture. Grammar points are systematically introduced with simple but adequate explanations and abundant examples, exercises, and drills. Each situation/topic-based lesson of the main texts consists of two or three model dialogues, narration, new words and expressions, pronunciation notes, vocabulary notes, culture, grammar, task/function, and English translation of dialogues. The workbooks provide students with extensive skill-using activities based on the skills learned from the main texts. Integrated Korean is a project of the Korean Language Education and Research Center (KLEAR) with the support of the Korea Foundation. In addition to the four-level textbooks and workbooks, forthcoming volumes include instructor's manuals, Chinese Character Studies, Korean Composition, Selected Readings in Korean, Readings in Modern Korean Literature, Korean Language in Culture and Society, and A Dictionary of Korean Grammar and Usage.

Cheap Phrasebook with a HUGE Catch 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This book contains so many informal, everyday speech phrases that it is hard to deny it's value. I learned how to say the worst things in Korean (sad but true) from this book. But here's the catch.
The English transliteration is so off it's not even funny. It's almost unrecognizable. You MUST be able to sound out (at least) or (preferably) read Korean in order to gain anything from this book. My reading skills are moderate so I got a lot, but if you cannot sound it out like it's natural, don't waste your money.

Having said that, if you read Korean - get this book - it's filthy!! +___+

Editorial Review:

The books in the Making out series are fun and accessible guides to languages as they're spoken on the street. These classic phrase books have been updated and expanded for use in informal situations such as bars, parties, or anywhere else one needs to know slang to survive! The books also now feature phrases written in their native script as well as in English, so the book can be shown to the person you are trying to communicate with.

Editorial Review:

This Basic program contains 5 hours of audio-only, effective language learning with real-life spoken practice sessions.

HEAR IT, LEARN IT, SPEAK IT®

What is the Pimsleur® difference?

The Pimsleur Method provides the most effective language-learning program ever developed. The Pimsleur Method gives you quick command of Korean structure without tedious drills. Learning to speak Korean can actually be enjoyable and rewarding.

The key reason most people struggle with new languages is that they aren't given proper instruction, only bits and pieces of a language. Other language programs sell only pieces -- dictionaries; grammar books and instructions; lists of hundreds or thousands of words and definitions; audios containing useless drills. They leave it to you to assemble these pieces as you try to speak. Pimsleur enables you to spend your time learning to speak the language rather than just studying its parts.

When you were learning English, could you speak before you knew how to conjugate verbs? Of course you could. That same learning process is what Pimsleur replicates. Pimsleur presents the whole language as one integrated piece so you can succeed.

With Pimsleur you get:

  • Grammar and vocabulary taught together in everyday conversation,
  • Interactive audio-only instruction that teaches spoken language organically,
  • The flexibility to learn anytime, anywhere,
  • 30-minute lessons designed to optimize the amount of language you can learn in one sitting.

Millions of people have used Pimsleur to gain real conversational skills in new languages quickly and easily, wherever and whenever -- without textbooks, written exercises, or drills.

The 10 lessons in the Basic Korean are the same as the first 10 lessons in the Pimsleur Comprehensive Korean Level 1.

The 10 lessons in Basic Korean are also the first 10 lessons in the 16 lesson Conversational Korean edition.

Pimsleur learners progress from either the Basic or the Conversational to the Comprehensive Level 1, and not from Basic to Conversational edition.

Great book for intermediate Korean 5 out of 5 stars.
18 of 18 people found this review helpful.

If you are reading this you are probably aware that good Korean texts are hard to find. Of the Korean learning materials out there I have sampled including the Korean Through English series, College Korean, FSI Tape set & book, and books published by Korean unversities not available in the US, the Integrated Korean series is by far the best. The Integrated Korean series stays away from using the arcane linguistic terminology of College Korean, avoids the oversimplification of KTE, and presents much more natural Korean usage than the textbooks published by Korean universities(including SNU, Yonsei, and Korea U). The grammatical explanations are great, the vocabulary is useful, and the cultural notes are also interesting and pertinent. Audio files for the dialogues are also available online for free on the U of Hawaii publishing webpage.

Excellent condition and fast delivery 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 18 people found this review helpful.

I'm very satisfied with the condition of the book and fast delivery. I would like to recommend this book to others.

Great concept, but could be better.. 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I loved the idea of pictures to help learning languages..

However disappointed with the use of many words and chapters....

I feel it should be more "general" and geared for my "useful" korean words.

However, when learning Korean... the options are limited...

Picture Dictionary 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is a much simpler version of Oxford's other language picture dictionaries, but it is very useful.

Picture dictionary for adults and kids to learn English 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book was meant for Koreans learning English but the Korean words are under the English words so you can use it both ways. You might think a picture dictionary is for kids but this one is for grown-ups and is VERY well laid out by category. There are quite a lot of words illustrated including verbs, prepositions and nouns as well as adjectives.

Editorial Review:

The remarkable new edition of the best-selling Oxford Picture Dictionary, features over 4,000 words and phrases illustrated with all new vibrant, crystal-clear artwork. The topics, based on extensive input from teachers and students, have been thoroughly updated to meet the needs of today's English language learners. The new bilingual editions have complete second language indexes.

1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I am the grandmother of a korean toddler. I thought it is very informative for the parents also. Some vocabulary words she can understand. I'm glad I bought it.

Great book for children and adults 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This dictionary is produced for children, but it is a great book for those just learning Korean to use for common, simple, every-day words.

Editorial Review:

Perfect for pre-schoolers, this board book version of the popular Milet Picture Dictionary features similar vibrant artwork in a simpler format for younger children.
