Grammar & vocabulary; Speaking & pronunciation skills

Basic Korean Grammar covers all the basic sentence structures, verbal forms and idiomatic expressions taught in the first two years of a high school or college level Korean language course.

This book is specifically designed to help the following learners:

Anyone taking a beginning or intermediate level Korean language course

Adult learners who are studying Korean on their own or with a tutor

Anyone who has studied Korean previously and now wishes to review and brush-up

Heritage learners who speak a bit of Korean but want to speak it more correctly

Whether readers are just beginning to learn Korean, brushing-up after a hiatus, or striving to finesse their rudimentary knowledge, Basic Korean Grammar offers an accessible and straightforward overview of the language. Created by a team of professional linguists, each of the book's nine chapters highlights a different essential concept, from particles to honorifics to complex sentence constructions and more. A compact alternative to unwieldy textbooks, this volume presents Korean words and sentences in both Hangeul script and Romanized form (with English translations), charts and examples demonstrating usage in a variety of contexts, and numerous helpful exercises to reinforce each lesson.

Teachers seeking extensive review materials for their students will find this book extremely useful. Students can use it as a reference and for systematic review later to refresh their memory and have a complete overview without referring to a thick textbook.
