4.0 out of 5 stars
Great for a beginner,

This review is from: Korean Through English, Book 1 (Book only) (Perfect Paperback)
The first volume takes a lot of time to carefully teach you how to read and write in Hangul using the cassettes for pronunciation. It also has a lot of useful vocabulary, common expressions and sentence structures including survival language. However, it is weak on grammar and the following volumes do nothing to remedy that problem. My recommendation is to start with volume 1 and then go on to a different series.

2.0 out of 5 stars
too fast, too slow,
By
This review is from: Korean Through English Book 1 with 3 tapes (Paperback)
This book is pretty bad, I must say. It goes much to slowly over some things (they could've spent 2 or 3 lessons on the alphabet instead of 5, for example) and then super fast over important stuff. They will mention an important point of grammar once within a dense paragraph of information, and you have to go searching for it or you'll miss it completely. They don't provide enough practice examples, either.
The tapes also move too fast, without enough pause time for you to repeat; you will have to pause the tape after each phrase if you want time to finish it before the next phrase starts. Overall, get a different book if you can. If I didn't have Korean co-workers and friends to help me with this, I would be completely confused by this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Friendly for Beginners,
By Gerhart Rheiner (Edison, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Korean Through English, Book 1 (Book only) (Perfect Paperback)
This is the first volume for beginners out of 3 volumes. I found it the most user-friendly Korean textbook I ever used to teach Korean to English speaking students. It starts with the very basic Korean alphabet. Then each unit has vocabulary, pronounciation, grammar and practice using new teaching methods. It is availabe with or without cassette tapes. I would recommend to get with cassettes which are excellent for students. This text was developed by Seou National University. I understand many American universities and colleges use this.
