My Korean 1, 3rd Edition is an introduction to contemporary Korean, with special emphasis on spoken usage for everyday situations. It introduces learners to the Korean alphabet and everyday situations in Korean culture to help them acquire ‘survival’ Korean. Key features include (1) authentic spoken Korean language examples; (2) authentic styles of speech appropriate to each situation; (3) situation dialogues presented in two comics and text‐only mode; (4) grammar explanations in plain English; (5) many types of exercises; and (6) extra learning materials available online ().
I liked how they added comic strips throughout the book to make it more entertaining and get a better understanding of how the words/sentences are used in a daily conversation.
