Korean Books For Immersion Learning (24 books)

Learning a new language is that much more fun when you get to experience native content made in that language! But deciding which content to read isn't always easy considering the mass of content available today.

In this list, you will find different books immersion learners have read throughout their immersion learning journey in Korean and thought: I am sure other learners would enjoy it as well.

Since all books in this list are targeted toward native speakers, they are usually best suited for intermediate/advanced learners.

THIS LIST IS FOR NATIVE KOREAN BOOKS, IN THEIR ORIGINAL EDITION ONLY.
NO LANGUAGE TEXTBOOKS OR TRANSLATION.

Apart from that... Feel free to add any kind of books: manwhas, published webtoons, novels, non-fiction, poetry, practical... As long as it has been written in Korean (so not translated into Korean) and isn't a textbook to learn Korean (or a graded reader made for Korean learners specifically), it's all good!

If you want to add a series (for example, I added the series 고양이 학교 and 정년이), only add the first volume of said series.

If you want to search for or recommend books to learn Korean (textbooks, graded readers), you can find an already existing list for that purpose here: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...
