4.0 out of 5 stars Almost perfect (perhaps 4.5 stars), February 14, 1999
By A Customer
"Teach Yourself Korean" is, as the last reader said, very good for those who want to learn Basics of Korean... it isn't aimed at Business, and it's definately NOT a Phrasebook (those are terrible anyway). However, I find 2 major flaws with this course. First, aside from the dialouge for each chapter, Korean script is not used. Anyone who wants to learn Korean MUST master its writing system (it's not hard). New Vocabulary for each lesson is done in Romanization. Once you learn Korean script, you will find that reading korean script is much easier than any system of romanization. Well, that can still be remedied with a dictionary, so no harm done really. The second flaw is that one the accompanying tapes, the dialogue is read very slowly. For people who have no prior experience with Korean, this is good, as vowels and whatnot tend to be blended together often which an make distinguishing words rather difficult. But learners with more experience might not like this. It's soo slow sometimes, like this, "An-nyeong ha----se---yo." Anyway, this is overall a good course. "Teach Yourself Korean" combined with "College Korean" should make an execellent selfstudy program for anybody. Sorry this was so long:)

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Beginning Course with a few flaws, May 14, 2000
By Aaron Cooley (Orange County, California) - See all my reviews
I highly recommend "Teach Yourself Korean" to any beginners at the language. It has entertaining dialogues (not dry like most other textbooks) and teaches things in a systematic format focusing on the practical application of grammar principles supplemented by useful vocabulary. After learning a principle from this book, you always seem to be able to find a way to use it in a real conversation, and my Korean friends have complimented me when I use the expressions on how natural they sound. I have also purchased the more traditional "College Korean" paperback by Rogers, You, and Richards, and would say if one had to go with one or the other, most would be better off with "Teach Yourself Korean." The books weaknesses include using only romanized Korean in the vocabulary sections and grammar explanations (though dialogues are printed in Hangul), and its lack of any kind of index. Using romanized Korean as opposed to Korean script makes verb forms and pronounciation rules needlessly confusing; a good text should include both. This book is an excellent beginners course that won't bore you, but you should get another book to accompany it, such as "Active Korean" by Song-Chol Kim.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceeds the effectiveness of Pimsleur series, November 30, 2004
This simple set of CD and a book is as effective as its Pimsleur counterpart if not more. First of all, this one has a book that explains the cultures, and grammars, not to mention the full translation of the dialogues from the CD in both Romanized and actual Korean alphabet. So you learn the spoken Korean as well as reading (and writing if you put in the effort). I have the version with cassettes then I got the CD version, it's even better than before. There are no typos now, and it's better organized.
