This book is a valuable reference because it contains very detailed explanations of how to use certain language conventions; however, I wouldn't use this book as a primary learning tool. Instead, I prefer books that introduce language conventions with relevant examples like Nam-Kil Kim's Modern Korean: An Intermediate Reader.

Livro muito bom, da melhor série de livros de coreano que já li. Com explicações extensas, muitos exemplos e exercícios. As explicações não são facilmente encontradas em livros, são daquele tipo que você só tem acesso numa sala de aula. Super recomendo!
