The most comprehensive book for learning Korean: Precise Learning Guide – Are you still at the very beginning or relatively early on and don't know where to start? I felt the same way at the beginning. 8/10 people who start learning Korean give up early because they lack a clear guide. That's why I'm presenting a guide in this book on how you, as a beginner, can learn Korean with complete clarity up to TOPIK I. The confidence that this gives you will help you to stay motivated and enjoy learning.Effective learning strategy - Are you worried that learning Korean is too challenging? Many people cram grammar first instead of focusing on vocabulary, which can be very exhausting and even demotivating. This book focuses on teaching you at least 42 new words each week using a special flashcard learning strategy (the “deck” method I developed). This has the effect of giving you a sense of immediate achievement and enabling you to understand more and more words in Korean songs, conversations or movies.Holistic approach - Instead of just learning individual words, you get the learning material and a clear learning guide for ALL 840 TOPIK I Level 1 vocabulary. I still remember exactly what it was like for me the first time I was able to use these words. With a clear learning strategy, it was much faster than expected, and the feeling of understanding individual words and even sentences in a language as complex as Korean was indescribably motivating.Learn Korean as easily and quickly as never before and get the book in 1-3 days by clicking on “Buy Now” in the top right corner.

Color Mass Market Paperback (Cheaper) - ISBN 97911881957013. Color Hardcover - ISBN 9791188195626Before reading this book, you probably had some moments of curiosity in your life where you questioned certain things about Korean culture. Why is there an American cola company's logo on the Korean flag? Why do Korean kids in my class only have like… three last names (Kim, Lee, Park)?If you are a K-Drama addict, and even took the time to watch variety shows with your favorite idols, your thoughts and interest towards Korea may have grown even deeper! Also, you may wonder why you become a year older as soon as arriving in Korea, why there's so much drama in those street tent bars, and how Koreans drink so much soju from those green bottles. And, probably the question on everyone’s mind in 2022, why is K-pop so dang popular (honorable mention: What the heck does “Gangnam Style” mean)?Well, if you get lost in translation, you can simply look up the word in the dictionary, but what if you get lost between cultures and there's no one to kindly tell you what's going on? You can get by with a lucky guess, but you are missing a valuable opportunity to learn about Korean culture indepthly!Regardless of who you are and where you come from – a K-Pop/K-Drama fanatic, an expat living in Korea, a student who just got accepted to study abroad in Korea (congrats!), or even a second-generation Gyopo from the Korean diaspora, you no longer have to stay puzzled and irritated by not being able to understand the peculiarities you find in Korea overall!With over 350 essential topics and most frequently asked questions that are hand-picked from 27 categories, covering virtually every aspect of Korean culture by laying out all the details on the “Five Ws (Who, What, When, Where, Why) and How”, you can fully understand Korean culture inside and out!Most importantly, we’ve written this book with people like you in mind, so having zero knowledge about Korea is absolutely fine! However, if you are the proud K-Culture know-it-all of your friend group you can put your knowledge to the test and even learn some new interesting facts to surprise your friends with by jumping between sections of your choice.To maximize your learning, we’ve included the following in every section!- Scannable Codes For YouTube Clips : Let’s see how Koreans do it in real life! Simply scan the codes with your smartphone and you will be taken to amazing YouTube clips.- Must-See Korean Dramas and Movies: We’ve carefully selected a list of titles that can help you further appreciate the topic.- Must-Know Terms and People : We’ve marked important Korean terms with Bold and Italics so you can use them as a study aid!By the time you’ve finished the last chapter, you will have learned so much about Korea, including all the minute details! (E.g., Why do Koreans love sitting on the floor? Why is it rude to pour drinks with one hand?)An added bonus is that Korean dramas, movies, and K-Pop music videos and lyrics will mean so much more the next time you see them (Hey, you will have the ability to accurately identify all the Korean drama clichés)! Also, if someone compliments you for having a “small face,” you will know that the correct way to respond is saying “Thank you.”Now let’s start this book with an example of “Bbali Bbali” culture - hurry up and start reading!
