5 out of 5 stars Lots of info in a tiny package   May 9, 2008
This is a great little book packed with lots of grammar, useful phrases, vocabulary and even cultural notes. This is a very useful book to use either alone, or as a supplement to other Korean texts. I really like it because it is so small that I can carry it with me in my purse and read it when i'm waiting in line somewhere, or at a restaurant, etc.
I highly recommend getting this book. It is definatly much more than just a phrase book and I think you will find it very useful. There are lots of neat cultural references that I find very interesting. Worth the price.

Don't bother getting this unless you want to learn how to speak Korean. If you just want a few simple phrases and how to say them look for something else.

5 out of 5 stars Good book - difficult language   July 27, 2007
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I have been in Seoul off and on - for business - for the past year. Despite rumors to the contrary, I find this an extremely difficult language. Most Koreans under the age of thirty have a working knowledge of English. Ordering coffee at Starbuck's is certainly not a problem, restaurants are often a problem, department stores pretty impossible. Once you get used to the sections in this book, at the very least you can point. Certain phrases are just good to know. It may seem stupid, but being able to say "Hello" or "Thank you" is extremely endearing to Koreans and it seems to me that this is the very least we can do. The size makes it easy to carry around and it's the least expensive phrase book I've found.
