Written by the well-known Talk To Me In Korean school (TTMIK for the connoisseurs), this book goes through all you need to know about Hangeul, the Korean alphabet. Very clearly explained, step-by-step,with loads of exercises, this is an amazing course book. The last part is all about Hangeul handwriting and is a little depressing because loads of letters become illegible compared to printed Hangeul. But let’s stay optimistic and be happy with being able to read the printed Hangeul to start with. Excellent book.
“Learning Korean may seem like a pretty daunting task, especially with the memorization of hundreds of new vocabulary words and all the basic grammar rules that may be completely different than the language(s) you already know. Every cloud has a silver lining, though, so do not get discouraged. The good news about learning Korean is that you already know a ton of Korean vocabulary words! Many contemporary Korean words are actually “loanwords”, or words that have been borrowed from another language and are just written in Hangeul and pronounced using a Korean accent words dealing with technology, modern inventions, certain sports, or foods have been imported without any Chinese language influence.”
