Hello Eleanor ^^ I've alr emailed you. But for others who want to know..

NUS extension (Park Mall 12 Floor)

There are 3 different books (elementary,intermediate and advanced). Each costs $45.

You may want to call them up to see if they have the books in stock. (: Tel: 6338 8400
Of course, that's provided you live in Singapore.

For those overseas, you can check out online bookstores i guess ^^ not too sure (:

hihi! may i know how different is the textbook by kyunghee uni that you have and the one being used by SKS? is the cover design different, 'cos i don't see it in the picture..

hangukdrama

3 December, 2008 at 8:52 PM

hello (: Well, basically the content is the same just that it's in chinese instead of english. and it does not come with the CD. It's supposed to be sold separately but the shops didn't have them.

The cover design is different, I'll upload a pic for you tmr, com is lagging now

Hello,

I have used some of the resources you mention on this post and I would like to give you my opinion about them.

I have been using "Elementary Korean" and "Continuing Korean" as a basis to learn Korean by myself.
These books are great at teaching vocabulary and putting it into meaningful contexts and discussions.
However, I thought that the grammar part in these books is relatively limited.
After studying the first book, I had learned many words, but I was unable to use them in meaningful ways.

Therefore I looked for another source for Korean grammar. And I found the website http://www.koreanclass101.com which provides great grammar points.
But in this case, the vocabulary that is offered to the reader is quite limited in comparison with the grammar that is taught.

So for me, the combination of these 2 books and this website has worked very well!

Hi Gilles!
hmm yeah I agree with you about the grammar part being limited. I didn't really like their explanations too. I fele that the grammar points in 'Continuing Korean' are relatively simple compared to the intermediate books of other series. Try the integrated Korean series, I find it good too (:

I love koreanclass101.com too! That was the first online learning site that i went to.

nice to meet you!

Hi Hazel (:

nice to meet you! I'll add more links soon. ^^

anw, it's best if you are able to borrow a copy from the library or browse through it in the bookshop first. in this way, you can be sure if you wanna buy it. (But i still think the price is a little steep >< )

Don't know if you'll be checking back through here or not, but I recently purchased the KLEAR textbooks from amazon.com and they have taught me a lot. But, unless you get the textbook and workbook, you won't get enough repetition or grammar practice as you would otherwise.

hangukdrama

5 March, 2009 at 7:54 AM

Hello (:

Are you from Singapore? If so, you can go borrow the books from the library (: It's so much cheaper and convenient. I'm not sure if it's worth it to collect the textbooks, once I finished them I don't really need to refer to it again.
I'm sorry I can't scan it for you, I did not borrow any at the moment. 😀

Hi! I´m planning to get some Korean books for autumn in the summer, and I may go to China, where these books are available and quite cheap.

I was wondering how do you find the Yonsei 100 hours books? I´m thinking of getting hold of those, since they come with a CD. Is there audio available for the Kyunghee books? Are there explanations in the books (I guess they are in Chinese, but that´s okay)? Thanks for your advice! 🙂

Reply

hangukdrama

21 June, 2009 at 8:47 AM

yes audio is available for the kyunghee books, but workbooks are sold separately and so far, I haven't manage to find them yet. There are explanations for grammar points too.

I bought my Yonsei 100 hours books in singapore, but i guess they should be widely available in china. yeap the explanations are all in chinese.

both sets of books are good in their own ways ^^ so you can think of getting both so that it's more comprehensive

Cathy

21 June, 2009 at 3:33 PM

Okay, thanks. I think I will have a look at both, which one I like better. 🙂 But I think I may buy book s from both series, if they´re great, since here it is so hard to get Korean books or they are just too expensive.
Thanks! 😉

hi Myyong! (:

TOPIK and KLPT are basically the 2 korean proficiency test administered by Korea. Both tests can be used if you want to work/study in korea, but certain organisations may prefer one over the other!

TOPIK is more difficult in that it has a writing and essay component while personally, i find the KLPT has a more rigourous listening component!

Perhaps I'll do a proper post on the differences between the 2 next time! (: it's tough to write everything out in the comments section ^^

hi shanna! i listened to your interview on talktomeinkorean.com, omg you're soooo fluent! i'm mad jealous but then i only started learning a month plus ago hahaha. i have such a long way to go, it's not even funny.

i was wondering when you stopped classroom learning and started self-study?

i'm now taking beginner 1 with nus extension and supplementing it with talktomeinkorean's podcasts. i wish the nus ext classes could be more intensive/frequent. i'm at a point where i have plenty of time (and enthusiasm), so i'm contemplating switching to a private language school that does more frequent lessons for beginner 2. 3 times a week would be awesome 😉

HI! Don't worry about not progressing as fast as you would like to, learning a language takes alot of time and patience ^^

I stopped classroom learning after 2 levels in SKS (it's around 20 weeks?). I started self studying at the point of time when I was very free too xD So I think I was lucky. I wouldn't have been able to invest so much time if it was during sch time. ^^

Are there any good private language schools? I think it's still quite hard to find decent intensive Korean lessons in Singapore (correct me if I'm wrong >.<).

There are plenty of good books and online resources to self study with. Personally, TTMIK is the best! It wasn't established yet when I started learning korean ): The teachers there are the best (:

hey, I just found your blog and I love it! 🙂
but, I was wondering if you had any recommendations for reading material (I'm not very advanced, but I don't mind something hard – I enjoy learning lots of new vocab). I have lots of listening practice from dramas/music, and I'm using a combination of textbooks/online websites (like TTMIK) for grammar and exercises. But I've found that I'm very slow at reading 한굴 and I'm not picking up much vocab.
It might be a bit to specific, but just any kind of low-level books or readers? I've tried looking around on the internet, but everything is too difficult or full of slang for me to understand :/
Anyway, if you can help at all, that would be great! Best of luck on your language endeavors 🙂

Are you looking for textbook reading materials or 'real' reading materials? I started out on reading entertainment news as I find that they are the easiest and the jargon is easy to pick up after awhile.

Dunno whether Fred Lukoff's "An Introductory Course in Korean" and "A First Reader in Korean Writing in Mixed Script" are still available – maybe at Kyobo – but they were the best textbooks for English speakers back then. Very solid foundations.

Hi there! Ernest here and I came across your blog by accident and found it fascinating! I would like to ask for your advise on the textbooks you used during your beginnings of self-learning. I am currently in Seoul now planning for my Korean wedding and will be heading back on this Sunday so hope you can enlightened me before I return as planning to grab some textbooks before i go. I live near Lotte World and saw they have a great bookstore there for texts but do you have other bookstores to recommend which could be cheaper or better options? Take care and my respect for your proficiency in the language as I have always dream attaining the levels you have achieved. Cheers!

Hello! I'm currently interested in studying the Korean language and I wonder if you have any good language schools in singapore to recommend? Also, I've been debating as to whether I should learn my lessons in a language school or should I do self study. How did you start our learning Korean? Can you advise me please? Thank you((:

I see! did you think that it was important for you to learn your foundations at the language school or do you think it'll be the same as self studying? You are so inspiring! I hope one day I'll be as good as you((:

Hi,
I am interested to learn korean language seriously. But as a start, can you suggest to me the best books to buy for self-study? And I would like to enrol in a language school in Singapore but I'm not sure which provides the best education. (Cos I went to cambridge for the beginner's korean class but i think it's not that good) Thanks!!

hello! the books are no longer available at that place. Also, KLPT has stopped since last year (or is it this year), so I think the book will be going out of print too

Does anyone have problems with 띄어쓰기 ? I found a site that does it for you. 자동 띄어쓰기. How cool is that. Haha. http://s.lab.naver.com/autospacing/?

I got it off a really interesting Korean teaching site which teaches basic grammar and stuff using interesting pictures, CFs etc. Strange thing is that it…. is in Korean. I won't expect beginners to be able to read the explanations which are in Korean. But oh well. I had fun revising my basics with it.

Hi!
I've just started watching your videos and reading your blog today and I'm really impressed at how well you can speak Korean. I'm a Singaporean and I've just started learning Korean a month ago. Could you recommend some good textbooks to buy (for beginners) to self study please? Also, I've been wanting to learn Japanese but I'm not sure if it's a good idea since I just started Korean. Could you give me some advice please?
Thanks! I love Bigbang too! TOP's so sexy 🙂

Hi!
I've just discovered your YouTube channel and this blog and I'm really impressed and inspired! I'm a Singaporean and I've just started learning Korean a month ago. I was wondering if you could recommend some textbooks to buy for beginners for self study? Also, I've been wanting to learn Japanese but I'm not sure if I should since I just started on Korean. Could you give me some advice?

Thank you! I love Bigbang too but Daesung's my bias haha. TOP's pretty hot too 🙂

Hi! I disagree about Teach Yourself Korean. Yes, the romanization is a pain, but otherwise it can work really well, the grammar points are clear, the practice is nice and you can move at a nice pace with taking one lesson into halves. Lots of vocab. It's good for starters, and for people who cannot afford the fee of a course with a teacher.

Hi! You're blog is great! I just discovered your blog just now while I was searching for Korean collocation sources.

I'm also stuying Korean in TTMIK and currently in level 8. I'm already that far but I keep forgetting some grammar structures(but I already familiarize myself with them). Because of this, I decided to take notes while reading thier lessons. I'm going to start over and take notes especially those parts that I forget most often. Haha
Hearing these structures used in korean dramas helped me to familiarize the structures and Ive also learned new words.

I'm studying the language by myself but got no bucks to buy those books so I'm relying heavily to the free lessons and dictionary online. But it's not all the time that I'll be able to have an internet connection. Good thing the lessons are in pdf but some dictionaries are based online.

Please recommend some good android apps and free sources hehe. Thanks! Fighting!

Btw, How about giveaways? Haha

Subscribed! 🙂

Hello!!

Since you are already at level 8, you should look into reading more Korean articles / webtoons online! I don't really use apps for language learning so can't recommend anything as of now. (:

ohh you emailed me right? (: The textbooks may not be that indicative of the quality of the lessons, so maybe you will want to look at class size, teaching methods etc! Both sets of books are pretty good for the beginner stages

http://dic.impact.pe.kr/ I thought that this dictionary might be worth noting. It's different in that I think it was made for Asians learning English. Still have to check it out more though.

Hello Shanna

I came across an old of your books reviews about a book meant for koreans. Could you please list down the books that you own or know that are meant for koreans or at least where I can find books meant for korean?

I want to learn more about the language, but I feel like I won't get to know much If I keep using only books meant for foreigners.

Of all the Korean language textbooks written by Korean universities (SNU, Yonsei, Ewha, Sogang…), which would you say is more in-depth and has clear explanations on grammar? I just finished taking a summer korean class at SNU where we used Active Korean 1, but the content seemed lacking in my opinion and didn't really offer much.

If you want good explanations on Korean grammar, I would suggest getting a separate grammar dictionary instead
