Ive been studying korean for about 10 years of and on. I was in the military and ive sent over $500 in material over my life time. I hate to say the fact that i did buy this pack before from a used book store that cost like $80 dollars. :( but anyways After useing this book. Alot of my korean friends commented on 1. How yell i sounded korean and to how fast i was picking things up and speaking more freely. I.E. Not thinking about what im saying and just talking. iF YOU WANT TO LEARN FAST AND LIKE TO DRILL. THIS IS FOR YOU. There are alot of books out there which was mentioned in the intro and ill tell you. this is most definitly it. I would like to mention the fact that you might want to pick up a grammer book. It helps with the grammer because this book is a "speak" based book. Id also like to say that ive learned enougth to write a song in korean. and it wouldnt be possible without this book.(and outside help) Hey i would like to tell everyone that this book is really on of the best books out there.

I guess you could have many Korean friends and good experience on Korea culture, even Korean. Isn’t it? I believe one of your English native friends could want either practice or learn Korean. If it is possible, I would like to introduce Korean on English. I have educated two Japanese on English when I studied in England. So if you are ok, let me know. I do not want money. I have met a very kind English lady, who introduced everything even free English lesson, while I was learning English in England. I would like to be her. Do not hesitate to contact me for further information. Best Dong Il Yu father1007@hotmail.com +82-11-9868-7933 Dear,

As an expat teacher who lived in Seoul for 5 years (and loved it) and then decided to make Korea Studies my MA, I couldn't agree with you more. As for the relationship thing, learn this like the back of your hand. All dealings in Korea involve relationships.
