Hey everyone,

I think I'm in the right forum lol. I just bought a teach yourself Korean kit. It has a book with grammar and exercises and two audio CD's to help with prononciation and comprehension. So far I've loved it and it's really helped. Anyways I just thought I'd share!

The Teach Yourself book is decent, but there should be more Hangul and less romanization. It makes it more difficult to really read. However, for a cheap Korean book that comes with audio and exercises for practice, this is good. I have this and Hippocrene's Beginner's Series Korean and the Hippocrene is more more Hangul-based. So if you're interested in learning to read and write as opposed to just speaking, I recommend spending the $5-$10 extra on that book!

Have to say I liked this book. Was handy listening on my MP3 player when I was on the bus or train.
