This book is perfect in every way and was the major, if not central, contributor to my fluency in Korean. The grammar is perfect for the second and third year of a Korean course and the dialogues have a very rich and native flavor to them. The vocabulary is extremely useful and complete. I believe that complete is the exact word for this. This book is complete in every way from the table of contents to the very accessible glossaries in the back.
With the CD that comes with it or a standalone textbook, this book is ideal. The exercises within it are perfect and they reinforce what was learned in the previous chapter. Even the cheesy reading passages are appropriate for the corresponding skill level of a learner at the corresponding level for every chapter.
The color of the cover, the layout of the book is perfect; the font is perfect. The quality of the paper is perfect. Even the introduction is perfect. And the mistake count? To be honest I read this whole book and it only has 4 mistakes in all of its 500 pages. That's like less than 0.01% - as flawless as a book gets in my book.
The only problem I found with this book was that the subsequent volume that Ross King promises within it has not been delivered. Long story short, if all foreign language textbooks were like this, the world would be a more polyglotal(polyglotish?) place.

Estrutura do livro: o que se deve esperar dele
Reviewed in Brazil 🇧🇷 on December 1, 2021
Ainda não utilizei o produto, mas me pareceu bem completo, ele é composto na seguinte estrutura: diálogo ou texto, glossário das palavras utilizadas ,gramática e exercíciosReviewed in Brazil 🇧🇷 on December 1, 2021
Achei interessante que diferente de outros livros esse possui um glossário de todas as palavras usadas nos diálogos/ textos. O que facilita na hora de compreender os exercícios de interpretação.
Vi também que o livro da vários exemplos de como as terminações podem ser utilizados que é algo que falta na maioria desses livros pois sempre são pensados para o trabalhos em turma e não para alunos autodidatas.
Esse livro na verdade me foi recomendado por alunos que na época também estudavam sozinhos e que hoje são fluentes na língua.
Agora basta saber se ele é realmente tudo aquilo que disseram e se próprio para quem estuda sozinho!
