5.0 out of 5 stars
VERY AMAZING BOOK!,
By Celine (Seoul, Korea) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet Korean Phrasebook (Lonely Planet Phrasebook: Korean) (Paperback)
I am a French teacher, teaching students French language in Seoul. As a language teacher and a resident of Seoul, this is THE best phrasebook I've ever encountered. If you are done skimming through this book, you can get by perfectly in Korea. The romanization system in this book is different (which I like the most!) but it's more accurate than any other system, so when you read the words out from the book to Koreans, they perfectly understand you. (This was never the case with other books. They NEVER understood me.) It's thrilling that people understand me when I simply read the romanization from the book. The grammar section and the dictionary section are what I really needed, too. It's so easy to understand and tells you the things that you really needed to know! Lastly, the book is so solidly made that it never falls in pieces even when you abuse the book so much like I do. (I wish the book was a little thinner, though.) I LOVE THIS BOOK! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

to the point,

This review is from: Lonely Planet Korean Phrasebook (Lonely Planet Phrasebook: Korean) (Paperback)
Living in Korea, I've seen and used several phrasebooks. In most respects, one is as good as another. But this one has the best elementary explanation of Korean grammar I've ever seen in a phrasebook; if you plan to be in Korea long enough to learn a little Korean, this will be the most helpful phrasebook that I know of.The problem is that they created their own system of romanization and a few phrases in the book are presented in it but not in Korean. That is really annoying; the phrases are completely worthless unless you want to study LP's unique romanization.

Very good pronounciation and grammar tips!,
By Blood Sonsaeng (Aliso Viejo, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet Korean Phrasebook (Lonely Planet Phrasebook: Korean) (Paperback)
While this title is not mainly a Korean /language/ title, or a book one expects to learn in depth language nicities, nonetheless, the book does an amazing job of condensing these minutiae very quickly, accurately, and somewhat completely (at a begginer level of course), in very clear language, without any weird linguist smarty pants fancy grammar jargon.
This is the intro. The rest of the book follows the content and layout of similar titles, and is fairly useful for the beginner.
