Korean From Zero! 1: Proven Methods to Learn Korean with included Workbook, MP3 Audio, and Online Support

I have been learning Korean for about 6 months and I have used Youtube video and website and I even got other books such as 'Talk to me in Korean'. However, I think that 'Korean From Zero' is definitely one of those books that are essential. All books have mostly the same content but this book just has that bit extra that makes it better in my eyes.Essentially learning any language is going to take time and effort but with the correct book, it makes like a little bit easier. I found that this book had a bit extra content that initially I didn't understand but once I read about it, it instantly clicked and made sense. By all means, buy other books because they do say that you should not only rely on one method of learning but just make sure that 'Korean from Zero' is one of the books that you have.Good luck in your studies. 안녕

This book is a very useful and fun book to learn Korean with. It was written by George Trombley, who also wrote the Japanese From Zero books, which have helped me hugely with Japanese. I got this book because I love the way George teaches. I was definitely not disappointed with this book and it is helping me a lot. I hope to get Korean From Zero 2 and Korean From Zero 3 as well once I finish this. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is already studying Korean or wants to start learning it but doesn't know where to start.

As someone who had little time to dedicate to learning Korean, I made painfully slow progress through this book. However, that isnt a comment on the book itself. This is a fantastic guide for anyone genuinely dedicated to learning Korean. It progresses in a logical manner and nothing is sprung on the dilligent student who reviews the previous lessons. It even has a bit of a sense of humour at times, and tries to avoid being dry (although, you must accept that this isnt always possible). The MP3 files on the website (KoreanFromZero.com) were high quality and really helped me get the pronunciation as good as I could manage. There's also content on their YouTube channel which is helpful supplementary material. As other reviewers have noted, there are a few minor mistakes which should have been picked up on, but they're not worth dropping a star off for. This guide is well worth a purchase, and i will definitely be buying the other 2.

I think a few people struggling with the difficulty of this book have a bit of a case of the lazies - it's decently paced and if you make sure to review the weeks you have learned then nothing comes as a shock as you progress. I'm just finishing up the last chapter now and I feel like everything is making sense. Learning a language takes time, patience, and effort - so if you're finding this a challenge just stick with it.Where the book is certainly let down is in the countless small errors that I've found in many of the example sentences. Just now there was an example sentence that said 할머니 (grandmother) but with grandfather in the accompanying English. It's not the end of the world because sometimes noticing these mistakes shows that you are actually learning the vocabulary - but I can imagine it also causing confusion on some occasions.

I've just finished a Korean beginners plus course at an institute in London, and i didn't want to lose what i'd already learned, so i purchased this book. I like that the lessons are short but informative, and they lose the "romanised wording" pretty quickly. There are different types of activities: matching the words to it's english/korean counterpart, answering questions in english/korean, etc.For those who don't want to buy the book you can get a pdf version of it free from their website. for me,nothing beats a physical copy. It would also be a good idea to go to the website as they have audio that accompanies the lessons. i find that having the book does have it's merits as writing in the book helps me to retain the information. it is easier to check your answers also (located at the end of the book) along with the mini dictionary.

Got this book a week ago and I absolutely love it. Having learned hangul before this was way better than the other source that I learned from. It gives plenty examples and allows you to practice your writing. The audio are great to look back and compare at your reading and see how you're pronouncing the words or phrases. If you're teaching your self Korean like I am or are planning to learn then I would highly recommend this book as it gives you plenty of exercises and also gives you a structure for you to learn the language.

this book has helped me a lot it is really good and the website and audio download are a big help. it is perfect and you can go at your own speed. make sure to go back to the previous lesson and revise them every now and again that will help you as well. will be buying the other books soon. can't wait to learn more

Soy muy mala para tener una rutina de estudio constante pero cuando puedo las lecciones son muy amenas y bien explicadas que se entiende muy bien

Acquistato con un'offerta lampo, ho ricevuto il libro in ottime condizioni e in tempi brevissimi.Il volume è molto chiaro, le tracce audio sono scaricabili/ consultabili in MP3 facilmente dal sito fornito.Surplus e valore aggiunto: la spiegazione relativa all'uso al cambio della tastiera da inglese < coreano e l'inserto staccabile fotocopiabile con la posizione delle lettere coreane sulla tastiera!Veramente vale il detto "poca spesa - massima resa".

Bardzo przejrzyście napisane, dużo ćwiczeń i przykładów. Polecam

Livro muito bom.

So ridiculously amazing. I have been struggling to teach myself Korean for a while, using all kinds of resources including duolingo (too difficult/disjointed on its own), another textbook (King & Yeon Elementary Korean: text is too small and gives me a headache; intro chapters are annoyingly specific to a classroom). Nothing was working until this book. It is beautifully laid out, with great explanations and vocab/grammar that is chunked in a manageable way. The font size is easy to read and big enough to not give me a headache, and the illustrations and tables and really everything about this book make me very happy (this distinguishes it from Go Billy, whose pdf textbook does not appear to have these features). As some have said, Korean From Zero is available for free online. However, I like having it in print so I can make notes and do the exercises properly.Side note: I would definitely supplement this resource with Talk to Me in Korean podcasts, which are super fun and informative. :)
