Filled with fun manga illustrations and practical situations Online companion audio recordings provide native-speaker pronunciation of words and phrases 40 short videos by teacher Bryan Park teach you how to pronounce the Hangul alphabet, vowels, and consonants After completing Korean for Beginners, you will be able to: Speak Korean as it's spoken today and read Korean hangul with ease! Converse with confidence using practical phrases and dialogues Successfully communicate in modern Korean situations, such as navigating cities, ordering food in restaurants or making plans All media content is accessible on the Tuttle Publishing website Review: An excellent beginning Korean language textbook... - I purchased the paperback edition from a local bookstore more than 4 years ago, but never progressed beyond using it to practice writing the hanguel characters. I did this off and on over the years. I liked that the (한글) characters were presented clearly with the proper stroke orders and directions. In the last few months, my interest in learning Korean has picked up. I went back and started reading the book all over again from scratch, progressing from chapter to chapter. I just finished a quick once-through the book, but am now going back and am studying for detail and retention. I intend to take copious notes at a mostly private website I recently started - to help me learn and organize what I learn. This will help me review and retain. I like the book's consistent use of romanization and its clear presentation of pronunciation "rules" (which I prefer to think of as "guidelines"). There is a lot of grammar that I glossed over the first time, which I plan to make more time for the second time around. For me, it is an excellent beginning textbook - it lays a great foundation. I will build upon what I learn from it, adding a little hanja along the way. (I have since purchased the Kindle edition from desertcart, but mostly use the paperback.) Review: Very good resource, but not as a stand alone resource - I had already been learning Korean on my own for about 9 months when I purchased this and a few other physical textbooks to try. This was by far my favorite of the bunch. The text is incredibly easy to read and really entertaining without sacrificing effectiveness. At first, I found the author's attempts at humor to be a bit obnoxious, but I came to really appreciate it further into the text. I am, however, not certain how great of a resource this would be to a true beginner of Korean. This served my purposes perfectly, I wanted to reinforce the information I was getting in my online lessons and have it presented a different way. I think someone using this as their first resource however would be left really confused. The author, for example will use a lot of example sentences throughout the book without explaining all of the grammar within the sentences and essentially why that sentence means what the author is telling you it means. A lot of time he does a good job of explaining the points relevant to the current lesson, but I imagine someone would be confused in the early lessons when they've only been explained a fraction of the sentence. I also don't necessarily like the way vocab is introduced and I personally don't even consider the vocab in this book because of that. However, the ease of reading could greatly outweigh all of these points. A true beginner could possibly read through this, not necessarily to study strictly from, but to get a broad and simple introduction before tackling harder texts. Regardless, this is definitely a great resource and I'd highly recommend, but would also suggest that it's supplemented with other resources for sure. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #394,446 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #201 in Alphabet Reference #371 in Vocabulary Books #559 in Travel Writing Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,467 Reviews | ## Images ![Korean for Beginners: Mastering Conversational Korean (Includes Free Online Audio) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+Xy-36bUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent beginning Korean language textbook... *by R***D on November 13, 2017* I purchased the paperback edition from a local bookstore more than 4 years ago, but never progressed beyond using it to practice writing the hanguel characters.

I ONLY NOTICED ONE DEFAULT Addressed near the bottom of my rate *by A***A on January 29, 2014* This product although i'm only on chapter five is well worth the money!!! With this book and the help of my Korean friend to sound out the words which i could have done with the CD i have learned to read Korean and my vocabulary is growing!!!!!! The book is also not written in boring text but like a conversation. They have a dictionary in the back, a chart to help with vowels and constants in the front .. Pictures, interesting tid bits a CD and im just taking a guess since i haven't finished the whole book but i bet they cover all the bases . Right now they are even talking about parts of speech and how to identify them GREAT PRODUCT .. ONLY THING THAT I NOTICED WRONG was that the CD was missing 1-3 which is alot because it numbers off like 1.1 1.2 etc etc 1-3 sound bites were missing from the Cd which means i would not know how to pronounce those words for the time being (or would not be sure). this book is also written by a Korean who learned English and an american who learned Korean ..:) so they know what you will struggle on and try to address it in the book GOOD LUCK ## Frequently Bought Together - Korean for Beginners: Mastering Conversational Korean (Includes Free Online Audio) - Elementary Korean: Second Edition (Includes Access to Website for Native Speaker Audio Recordings) - Elementary Korean Workbook: A Complete Language Activity Book for Beginners (Online Audio Included) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1210863-korean-for-beginners-mastering-conversational-korean-includes-free-online-audio](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1210863-korean-for-beginners-mastering-conversational-korean-includes-free-online-audio) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
