'Elementary Korean's clear in-depth treatment will undoubtedly propel the beginner learner forward in their quest to master the Korean language..' —Loving Korean blog
'Elementary Korean is the golden standard for learning Korean. It is the most thorough and all–round introduction to Korean that I know of. The logical structure makes it easy to follow.' —Perapera Language Tools blog
'The explanations of grammar are very easy to understand and very thorough. The vocabulary lists are very good as well. I just highly recommend these books because they are very easy to understand, nice hardback books with a good binding, include an audio cd, and also present good vocabulary and grammar.' —Learnkoreanlangauge.com blog
'So far the best books I've seen for self study seem to be King and Yeon's Elementary Korean. They come with CD's the workbook comes with an answer key, they get great reviews, and in general, they should serve youwell for taking you through the basics on your own.' —Fluentforever.com blog
'Comes with CD and the beginning hits you with the basics: simple phrases and hangul. Each lesson builds upon the grammar you've learned in the previous lesson so it's not hard. Well organized and easy to get through.' —Linguajunkie.com blog
'The layout makes for a digestible read; each chapter begins with a dialogue and vocabulary list, followed by grammar points and exercises. The chapters are spattered with side notes that warn about common mistakes and caveats in a given lesson. I also have the accompanying workbook, which gives a lot of good practice.' —Goodreads

From an Indo-European standpoint, Korean is a pretty messed-up language. The syntax is all wrong, for one thing. It puts the verb at the end of the sentence and just omits the subject whenever it feels like it. It also seems to get by without the word ‘you’ most of the time. And then, nobody’s even sure what language family it belongs to (some say Altaic, like Japanese and Turkish; others consider it an ‘isolate’, like Basque). But for Westerners, the really crazy part is how status-conscious th..more

To begin, I bought this book at B&N for over 70 dollars and it really was not worth the money i paid for it. First, let me say it's not horrible. There's a wealth of good information in there. It includes the very basic of learning the korean alphabet, to basic phrases, vocabulary, and practice scripts. However, this is part of the problem. Now, i'm not saying i'm great at foreign languages, but i do want to say i'm above par when learning them, but from the get-go the book's too thorough an..more

This was our Korean 102 coursebook at UBC; the main author King was/is head of the Korean dept. I've given it a mediocre rating because it's simply really nasty for self-teaching, and like most language-learning textbooks, pedagogically challenged for course work as well.
What it does have going for it is its magisterial command of the language exposition proper, by two senior Koreanists and linguists. These guys have a half-century plus of knowledge about the language, and it's one of the top-ti..more

Instead of this (and the workbook) having an official 'Date Finished', I think it's safe to assume that I'm always going to be working on/reading this for a long time. But I can say I'm enjoying my journey with the Korean language immensely.

Good for self study, but it helps to have a Korean around to address any confusion. It doesn't get hung up on formal style, so if you go around trying to talk to people, you don't sound so stuffy. Furthermore, the language is more or less up to date and relevant.
The layout makes for a digestible read; each chapter begins with a dialogue and vocabulary list, followed by grammar points and exercises. The chapters are spattered with side notes that warn about common mistakes and caveats in a given..more
