A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Planning a short visit to Korea? Don't forget to include a copy of Practical Korean! This book by Samuel E. Martin, renowned Asian language expert and professor emeritus at Yale University, provides a "quick" and successful approach to speaking Korean. Recently updated to reflect current conversational Korean usage and vocabulary, this book is designed to be concise, fun, and useful for beginners without any previous knowledge of the language. Taking a functional approach to Korean language learning, Practical Korean provides all the basics you need, beginning with correct pronunciation and a few key grammar points in the very first page, followed by 47 short lessons which include everyday examples that reinforce key vocabulary and proper sentence patterns. From "Names and Greetings" to "Casual Remarks Using -ji yo", people who are only visiting or staying in Korea for a short time will quickly gain confidence to get around and express themselves in simple conversational Korean. Both Hangul, the native alphabet of the Korean language, and standard romanization system used in South Korea today are also incorporated throughout the book.

Revue de presse

"I have been studying this book for the last few weeks, and while I am not, by any means, fluent in Korean, I feel as if I have gained more understanding. Will you be speaking Korean quickly and effortlessly in a few hours? It depends on how well you can speak Korean before picking this gem up. If you have never uttered a word outside of 'Annyeonghaseyo', then probably not. Don't let that discourage you though! Pick up this book and see how far you can go with it." --Beyond Hallyu blog"
