Concise Korean grammar notes in English, extensive glossaries, and an answer key make this book suitable for those studying alone, as well as for classroom use. <p/>There are 20 comprehensive lessons, each with a reading text in which new language is introduced in context, followed by vocabulary, grammar points, and exercises. Lessons 5, 10, 15 and 20 are short reviews of the key structural patterns introduced. The focus is on written Korean, but the reading texts are not academic; they are breezy, chatty, and amusing, with illustrations. <p/>The textbook comes with a free online workbook, which includes 20 lessons that build on the content of the lessons in the book to introduce 500 Chinese characters in their Sino-Korean readings. The emphasis is on giving students the tools they need to decipher unfamiliar Chinese characters on their own, and also on Sino-Korean vocabulary acquisition. Each lesson introduces approximately 25-30 new Chinese characters along with related vocabulary items and builds on previous characters and vocabulary introduced, demonstrating the cumulative effect on one's vocabulary of paying systematic attention to Sino-Korean.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>For beginners, <i>Elementary Korean</i>, which strikes the elusive combination of detailed information and an engaging presentation.
