Hi, I am going to buy a book to learn Korean and I heard great things about the "Korean made Easy" one. That being said there is a beginner and starter version. I know hangul, VERY basic phrases (being able to introduce myself, ask where the toilet is, please etc.). I was wondering whether I should purchase the starter one or beginner one cause I don't really know the difference and they are expensive enough that I don't want to just blind test them.

  • Starter sounds unsuitable. Here’s the table of contents:

    Part 1 Introduction to Hangeul

    Part 2 Characteristics of Korean Vowels and Consonants

    Part 3 Characteristics of Korean Sentences

    Thank you!

  • Yeah, since you know Hangul and some basic phrases already, grab the Beginner one instead of Starter. Starter books spend a ton of pages on the alphabet and reading rules. You'd skip like half of it and feel like you wasted cash. Beginner jumps straight into grammar particles and sentence stuff, which is exactly the next step for you.
