Yonsei Korean (Korean and English Edition) Paperback – March 5, 2013

Brand New! I already know my alphabet and can read pretty well so do me it is very easy and helps me get to what I want. I would not recommend to someone who doesn’t know the alphabet and the sound they might find it a bit challenging. Comes with CD for pronunciations

I like the book one of the bast that I used to study new language

I ordered the used versions of this. They came from half priced books. Although they said they were used, they came with the dvds still in the back of the book, having never been opened, and most of the book had little to no writting. The books showed no sign of creases of having been opened or used a lot. I wonder if the person who had them previously even used them at all. I thought at first they had mistakenly sent me a new version untill I managed to see some pencil writing in the book on some of the work book pages, proving to me that it was indeed a used version. Otherwise this very good book, looked just like new or new in my opinion. These books are a bit pricey but I was happy to get an almost new version. On the yonsei website they are listed as being 20,000 won which depending on the conversion rate can be around 15$. We are really getting gouged for prices here but I guess there isnt another option sadly. I also ordered the 1-1, 1-2 workbooks from the same company and had similar experiences with the quality. I think I know from who I will be ordering my next used books on amazon from.

Helpful with my studies.

I was super excited for this boom and waited all day for it to get delivered. I was going to try and do a chapter but honestly I opened it up to the first chapter and everything is in Korean. It’s as if we have to like figure out what they want us to learn. If I didn’t already know how to say “I am __” I wouldn’t understand the book. On a better note at the end of the chapter it does have some English to tell you what they’re saying but i would of been more appreciated if they had that in the chapter itself not at the end.

Barely any english translations, all in Korean. Not helpful but didn't want to deal with going through the process of returning it so I kept it.

Book one of one, not easy to learn from. I say this is more of a beginning intermediate Korean book

The text is well organized with proper exercises. However, it's tone is too formal. Almost no Korean speaks the way it's written in the text. Revising, or adding conversational sentences will enhance the actual use of Koreanlearned in the classroom.
