3.0 out of 5 stars Only "master" the basics..., December 21, 1999

This review is from: Mastering Korean (Korean SAT II) (CD-ROM)
Okay, I admit that this program seemed cool. It had the reviews to back it up, too. Anyway, this software package was anything but complete. With one conversational practice per unit there is no way to learn the language. After going through the program I tried the SAT II test. Nothing the "teaching" part of the software provided would give someone the skills to answer the questions. The program DID provide a great pronounication practice. This is its main strength.

1.0 out of 5 stars Over-Priced, May 11, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Mastering Korean (Korean SAT II) (CD-ROM)
A publication titled "Mastering..." anything should be comprehensive. This CD is not. It is a mere introduction to the Korean language. You would do better to buy a Berlitz travel cassette for much less money. The book "College Korean" is a much better investment, if you're interested in learning about Korean grammer and sentence structure. My wife is Korean and she disputes several pronunciation examples encountered. Unless you expect little for your money don't buy this product. It isn't without value, mind you, it just isn't worth what you pay.
