[Lily]

Fun if sometimes inappropriate phrases (but a large reason why it's fun) for studying Korean.

[Jeridel Banks]

I liked this book, but it still had a lot of gaps for easy phrases such as, "Do you have water?" or "Can I take this?" A good guide for those who like to learn the grammar first and plug in the words is Beginner's Korean with online audio by Jeyseon Lee and Kangjin Lee.

[Jey The Moose]

Great book for learning simple translations of a lot of fun topics!

[Diamond (kindle lover)]
