Book Reviews of College Korean
Book Review: A solid introductory text for beginning Korean
Summary: 3 Stars
One of the things I've always envied about learners of Chinese and especially Japanese, is the relative wealth and quality teaching materials. Would-be learners of Korean have far fewer choices, and most of what is available isn't very good. College Korean does something to alleviate that problem by providing a solid introduction to the Korean language. However, I feel that the book is relatively simple and more appropriate for a high-school-level class than a college one. A serious student of Korean will find it quite inadequate: the dialogs are rather short, it could cover more grammar and vocabulary, and the choice to include a small number of Chinese characters is questionable. I personally feel that the complexity that Chinese characters add to the Korean writing system warrants at least a separate supplement, if not a separate text entirely. Notwithstanding, College Korean does represent a relatively inexpensive and up-to-date choice for someone interested in starting to learn Korean.
