Korean Grammar: The Complete Guide to Speaking Korean Naturally Paperback – November 28, 2017

this book has been my holy grail as a second semester korean learner. it breaks sentence/verb structures down well and makes them very easy to understand!don’t expect to learn any vocab, though.

Granted the very well qualified and experienced authors chose the Yale Romanization system in the book, its written in smaller type and easy to ignore (yes, I prefer, like most students, the dumbed-down approximate-pronunciation romanization). This book, very logically, and clearly, explains how the Korean language works. All the pieces, add-ons, etc.--and all of that is just in the Introduction section; just imagine how detailed the individual chapters are. After 1 year of daily study, I know many phrases, a good number of verbs in the present tense, so now I am ready for this book. Looking forward to continue reading it daily!

this book is great aside from the fact that the romanization is basically useless and gets really annoying sometimes. i dont see the point of it being in the book in the first place considering someone learning korean grammar would obviously need to already know the hangeul but whatever

This book is very systematic in approach, starting with the book itself, kind of like a syllabus. As an English as a Second Language teacher this is exactly the approach I would use. The second chapter deals with correct pronunciation. This is very important if you want to be understood. I use this book a lot and refer to it often.

excellent book to explain basics , good general resource

Nice to learn a language!

I really do not like this book. The font is extremely small(which is a me issue of course) and the romanized spelling in this book is some of the ..oddest and strangest I have seen so far. I have over a dozen korean language books and NOT ONE of my other books use the spellings that are in this book. I can read hangul and know what the word is but the fact that is so distracting makes this book just so useless for me right now and it will be going to the back of the closet. I cannot express how distracting and almost confusing the "wrong" romanization this book uses.

Don’t buy get from the library
