Korean From Zero! 1: Proven Methods to Learn Korean with included Workbook, MP3 Audio, and Online Support

As someone who had little time to dedicate to learning Korean, I made painfully slow progress through this book. However, that isnt a comment on the book itself. This is a fantastic guide for anyone genuinely dedicated to learning Korean. It progresses in a logical manner and nothing is sprung on the dilligent student who reviews the previous lessons. It even has a bit of a sense of humour at times, and tries to avoid being dry (although, you must accept that this isnt always possible). The MP3 files on the website (KoreanFromZero.com) were high quality and really helped me get the pronunciation as good as I could manage. There's also content on their YouTube channel which is helpful supplementary material. As other reviewers have noted, there are a few minor mistakes which should have been picked up on, but they're not worth dropping a star off for. This guide is well worth a purchase, and i will definitely be buying the other 2.

This book is a very useful and fun book to learn Korean with. It was written by George Trombley, who also wrote the Japanese From Zero books, which have helped me hugely with Japanese. I got this book because I love the way George teaches. I was definitely not disappointed with this book and it is helping me a lot. I hope to get Korean From Zero 2 and Korean From Zero 3 as well once I finish this. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is already studying Korean or wants to start learning it but doesn't know where to start.

I've just finished a Korean beginners plus course at an institute in London, and i didn't want to lose what i'd already learned, so i purchased this book. I like that the lessons are short but informative, and they lose the "romanised wording" pretty quickly. There are different types of activities: matching the words to it's english/korean counterpart, answering questions in english/korean, etc. For those who don't want to buy the book you can get a pdf version of it free from their website. for me,nothing beats a physical copy. It would also be a good idea to go to the website as they have audio that accompanies the lessons. i find that having the book does have it's merits as writing in the book helps me to retain the information. it is easier to check your answers also (located at the end of the book) along with the mini dictionary.

I think a few people struggling with the difficulty of this book have a bit of a case of the lazies - it's decently paced and if you make sure to review the weeks you have learned then nothing comes as a shock as you progress. I'm just finishing up the last chapter now and I feel like everything is making sense. Learning a language takes time, patience, and effort - so if you're finding this a challenge just stick with it. Where the book is certainly let down is in the countless small errors that I've found in many of the example sentences. Just now there was an example sentence that said 할머니 (grandmother) but with grandfather in the accompanying English. It's not the end of the world because sometimes noticing these mistakes shows that you are actually learning the vocabulary - but I can imagine it also causing confusion on some occasions.

Got this book a week ago and I absolutely love it. Having learned hangul before this was way better than the other source that I learned from. It gives plenty examples and allows you to practice your writing. The audio are great to look back and compare at your reading and see how you're pronouncing the words or phrases. If you're teaching your self Korean like I am or are planning to learn then I would highly recommend this book as it gives you plenty of exercises and also gives you a structure for you to learn the language.

I'm in love with the style this book teaches. Overall it's a good book to learn from, I really like it has a lot of pages but it is definitely worth the money. I would recommend others to buy it if you have an interest in learning Korean. This book is definitely easy to understand. The book came in good condition no rips or tears. I'm happy with my purchase.

I was learning Korean independently for a couple of months before seeing this and purchasing it and now I feel that I’m learning the language in a more organised and fun way. I definitely recommend this series of books to anyone wanting to learn Korean it is super useful and totally worth it :)

I have been learning Korean for about 6 months and I have used Youtube video and website and I even got other books such as 'Talk to me in Korean'. However, I think that 'Korean From Zero' is definitely one of those books that are essential. All books have mostly the same content but this book just has that bit extra that makes it better in my eyes. Essentially learning any language is going to take time and effort but with the correct book, it makes like a little bit easier. I found that this book had a bit extra content that initially I didn't understand but once I read about it, it instantly clicked and made sense. By all means, buy other books because they do say that you should not only rely on one method of learning but just make sure that 'Korean from Zero' is one of the books that you have. Good luck in your studies. 안녕

Las explicaciones de gramática son claras y concisas, con varios apuntes de pronunciación y algo de vocabulario en cada tema. Además, me parece muy acertado que el papel sea tipo "folio" para poder escribir y subrayar sin problema. Me compraré el siguiente volumen ya que éste me ha gustado mucho. 100% recomendable.

I've used three other Korean textbooks for beginners, but this is by far my favorite. I found it easier to use and more helpful than the others. I liked the large print and space to write notes, the grouping of related concepts, the clear explanations, the soft and absorbent paper (good for making notes with both pencil and pen) and exercises with answers in the back of the book. After finishing the book, I eagerly went through it a second time to refresh my learning and ordered the next book in the series. There were lots more exercises in the book that I could have done, but choose to skip over. So, there really is a lot of value here. I thought the attempts at humor were kind of lame and distracting from the purpose, but that's minor.

I love that the Korean From Zero can help me learn Korean, especially with the integrated workbook.
