• Buyer Beware 04 May, 2008
This is not for beginners. I bought the "Learn in your car" series for Mandarin and that fantastic. That was truly something a beginner could learn. I wish they had a version for Korean. When I popped this one into the CD player, what I got was something completely different. I couldn't follow along and I wondered if I had left something supplementary that comes with it. This thing is like trial by fire or for someone who has familiarity with Korean already, cause they literally just throw phrases at you without breaking it down for the learner. This is less "Teach yourself" than it is "practice by yourself"

• Teach Yourself Korean 27 July, 2008
I find this book very helpful. It has the hangul writing as well as english. It also has romanization. I do try to avoid the romanization, however. The book is easy to follow and the CD helpful for the pronounciation. I had one copy and lost it. This is my second copy. I like the fact that it has exercises in writing/understanding to enforce learning. Between this book, my 'online' learnkoreannow.com, and my newly acquired tutor, my progression in learning Korean has really speeded up!

• It's Ok 17 October, 2008
This book's introduction is very helpful. However, once you get past that it can be a little overwhelming. If lots of words all at once is what you're looking for then it's good. One BIG problem I find is that the exercises are in romanized English, this is not helpful even if you are trying to learn just conversation because once you learn the korean alphabet it is actually easier to use that than English. I would recommend trying to find a book that just introduces the korean alphabet with English sounds and moves away from that romanization style right away. It does have some useful phrases in it but I think there are other better books out there.

• Overpriced 18 October, 2008
I thought this CD was all right until I played it for my Mom. She is Korean and ripped apart this CD. She thought it was overpriced, that the speakers used weren't that great. Her opinion was that the makers of the CD got students to do the speaking parts for a low price.
I thought that the CD would come with a book, but it did not. I also did not like how the Korean language spoken was not really translated. It's too bad I waited past the return period to listen to it. It would have been a return.
