Breaks down grammar points into workable chunks

This book is EXACTLY what I needed to get me going again. I’ve been attempting to study Korean through various sources – Rosetta Stone, several phone apps, Pimsleur Korean, even Talk to Me in Korean…they all gave me some working Korean, but nothing I can use further than a few sentences. I mean, admittedly, I haven’t been studying intensely for the past year. But this book breaks down each grammar points into workable chunks. Though I’m not at a comfortable speaking level YET, I know this book will provide a solid foundation for me to get there.

Don’t get me wrong, the other sources were very helpful, and I will still use them, but this book along with Song Won’s guidance has gotten me EXCITED about learning Korean again.He offers free uploaded video lesson on Youtube and Facebook too. They are all very helpful.

When I’m done with the book, I promise to come back and let you in on my results!

This book is really fantastic and so easy to understand, even by a beginner dunce like me, its full of easy explanations, lots of examples and exercises.I was able even to write a letter in korean by using this book to add grammar and make it sound less childish..Highly recommend

Five Stars

Good book and helpful

I bought this book because the reviews were so good. All I can say is that it is fantastic. I was already able to read and write Hangul yet I found the reading and writing sections well worth reading especially as there are teaching sessions on uTube that take you through the lessons. The teaching sessions are with real learners who are at the same level as you in the book. He (Songwon). Has already cleared up a stumbling block I had with topic markers. There are also other teaching aids through Skype but I have not yet tried these. For once, i am glad I listened to the reviews and bought this book. I would recommend it to anyone wishing to learn Korean. However, it is linked with the on-line teaching sessions and would be difficult without them.

Amazing book!!!

This book is honestly amazing! Everything is broken so you can understand it better, very organized when it comes to units and actually working in the book. I recommend this to any starting out as a beginner!

Best Korean Book

I love how this book is straightforward and gets right to the point. It’s very easy to comprehend and gives words and phrases that you either will hear or use. I feel like I have a better understanding of the korean language. Also, the free youtube lesson are a great supplement to the book.

DEFINITELY WORTH A PURCHASE

This book is amaaazing if you want to learn how to speak Korean without being stressed by how difficult it is. It’s full of grammar points, vocab, and example sentences alongside questions for you to complete for each unit which is perfect as it’s a textbook and workbook in one! Each unit is full of new information that is broken down in a way that makes it easy to understand unlike a lot of the other books out there.
What I find incredibly helpful is that the author also has a YouTube (Korean Grammar for Speaking) and a Soundcloud […] with audio files to aid your learning so you can learn how to pronounce the vocabulary and sentences mentioned in the book. The author has done a great job at writing a grammar book that is easier for foreigners to understand compared to some of the more complicated books out there.
I’m really glad that I bought this book as it really is a great tool in learning Korean and I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Highly recommend! Able to master grammar at a good pace with this book.

Korean Grammar for Speaking is the perfect book for mastering Korean grammar. I’m a beginner and I just began studying Korean as a New Year Resolution and to prepare for a trip to South Korea next year. As someone who has studied Japanese (which has a lot of similarities to Korean grammar), I knew getting a good grammar book would be crucial in grasping the language. This book exceeds my expectations. Not only is it a grammar book, it specifically focuses on spoken Korean. This is the Korean you will use most often if you plan to live or travel in Korea. This is the Korean you want to learn if you don’t want to sound like the an outdated textbook.

The quality of the cover and the pages of the book is high. The pages are made of good strong material so if you’re using an eraser you don’t have to worry about erasing too hard. And if you’re using gel ink, you don’t have to worry about the ink bleeding through the pages.

For each Unit, on the left pages, grammar points are introduced. The pages are in color and grammar points are shown in red. Sample sentences are provided for each point. Korean sentences are in hangul only (no romanization in this book, except for when the Korean alphabet is introduced in the beginning). Each Korean sentence and new verbs/conjugations have the English translation provided which is helpful for beginners like me who want to make sure they understand the sentence correctly. This also makes the book, perfect for self-study. On the right pages, you’ll find the following kind of exercises to help reinforce the grammar you learn:

1. Complete the blanks
2. Complete the sentence using a word bank
3. Write your own sentences
4. Unscramble the sentences
5. Complete the conversation and many other types of exercises

Because of the variety of exercise types, I never get bored writing in this book. And because the grammar points are so clear and straightforward, I’m able to understand how the grammar is used right away and feel that I’ve been progressing through the book at a nice pace.

Another pro of this book is that the author, Song Won also created mp3s to go with it. The mp3s are great for verifying pronunciation, memorizing vocab, shadowing, and for listening to on your iphone or android while commuting to work or school or when traveling. You can find the link to the mp3s at: https://soundcloud.com/song-won-975620954.

This book is worth getting. Contains grammar points with sample sentences, a variety of exercises to reinforce new grammar, can be used for self-study, teaches you REAL spoken Korean, English translations of sentences, answer key provided for exercises and test, mp3s are available.
