Using Korean: A Guide to Contemporary Usage

by Miho Choo, Hye-Young Kwak (Contributor)

This is a guide to Korean language usage for students who have already acquired the basics of the language and wish to extend their knowledge and organise accumulated bits of information into a comprehensive picture. It is designed to promote the fluency and accuracy vital to effective communication, provides excellent coverage of proverbs, idioms, and sound symbolism, is tailored to the needs of the English-speaking user, and will be invaluable to anyone requiring up-to-date guidance on points of grammar and vocabulary. Unlike conventional grammars, it highlights those areas of vocabulary and grammar which cause most difficulty to English speakers. Special attention is given throughout the book to the appropriateness of different language styles in various situational contexts. Clear, readable, and easy to consult, it is essential for all those who wish to take their Korean beyond the beginner's level.

I love the example sentences in this book. Appearing prominently throughout, they're lively and realistic, covering a broad range of life experiences.

Although this book isn't a good fit for someone entirely unfamiliar with Korean, if you have some basic grammar and vocabulary under your belt this is a wonderful book both to read and to use as a reference.
