Have you ever considered learning Korean, but been put off by the
unusual look of the characters? Don't let yourself be scared away!
Korean has been called "the most logical language there is," and
with this friendly and thorough introduction you will soon see why.
The best way to learn Korean--this book uses a lighthearted,
humorous approach. Korean for Beginners starts by showing you just
how reasoned and logical the Korean alphabet, hangeul, actually is,
and helps you master it faster than you learned the English
alphabet. Realistic situations you might encounter in Korea in
Korean-speaking environments are described, and new words are
explained in terms of how you'll find them useful to communicate.
Numerous illustrations enliven the text, and online audio content
lets you listen and repeat phrases in the book. Soon you'll be able
to say with pride, "I know Korean!" Features of Korean for
Beginners are: Learn to read Korean writing with ease. Practical
phrases help you converse with confidence. A lighthearted "guide"
walks you through, bringing the language to life. The audio
features native Korean speakers help you to speak Korean like a
pro. As the more than 1 million Americans who speak Korean can
attest, the Korean language is here to stay, and generations of
young (and older) adults are determined to learn it. This book is
for people who want a grasp of how to speak, write and understand
Korean--and who want to enjoy things while they're at it! All disc
content is alternatively accessible on
tuttlepublishing.com/downloadable-content.
