This new edition of Elementary Korean, the most comprehensive and detailed introductory Korean textbook available, offers beginning learners of Korean everything they need to learn the language effectively. Perfect for a first-year university-level course use or for the independent language learner. No prior knowledge of the language is necessary.

Included is downloadable audio that helps learners to speak like a native and a web-based practice component through the University of British Columbia that can help students to learn Korean even beyond the pages of this book.

Each lesson supplements the corresponding lesson in the textbook.

This book has lots of examples and an answer key at the back. The best thing about this book compared to other Korean language books is that this book used UTF-8 characters, so I can actually highlight the characters search for them as I can for the English character set.
