Korean Stories for Language Learners: Traditional Folktales in Korean and English (Free Audio CD Included)

A very clearly articulated book. This is a must have. The content is rich and so far, I haven’t found any errors. Kudos to the authors. Good luck, learners. Happy learning.

Its best for language learner with culture notes reading writing practice alphabets and glossary its perfect package for learner and loved it i need same kind of book for arabic learning though i bought from you expecting same but iam disappointed please do suggest me if you have for arabic

Thank you so much for this helpful book 📖. I'm very happy that I got this book today. It's really helpful for the intermediate levels learner's cause this book contains stories which the intermediate learns can understand it easily more than a beginners. I am very satisfied

A must buy for those learning Korean. The level of difficulty increases gradually as you read the short stories. They come with English translation which is very helpful. It also gives cultural backgrounds which helps to understand the contexts.

Good book. Word by word Meaning is given . Translation is given . My lappy dsnt have CD player so can't comment on that . Over all great book .

Lovely book, I am sure I am going to enjoy it and be able to read it unlike many books for beginners who are learning Korean

Llegó súper rápido y en excelentes condiciones. Las historias son muy buenas y ayudan a practicar coreano. Lo único malo es que no llegó con el CD que supuestamente está incluído.

Assim como os outros livros da série, esse é um excelente recurso para aprender o idioma de uma forma progressiva e constante. Ele possui diversas histórias com tradução e evolução e um dicionário no final de cada conto, bem legal!

Ottimo libro per chi inizia a studiare coreano. Si passa dalle storie brevissime e semplici, a quelle via via più complicate. Per ogni storia c'è una lista dei vocaboli utilizzati, domande sulla comprensione del testo e curiosità riguardo a quella determinata storia (sono racconti del folclore quindi ho apprezzato molto che ci siano degli approfondimenti e spiegazioni). Ovviamente bisogna sapere l'inglese e fare attenzione alla traduzione poichè non è tutto tradotto letteralmente (io me ne sono accorta perchè sto studiando coreano e mi rendo conto che la traduzione certe volte viene adattata, un pò come avviene con i sottotitoli, quindi bisogna fare il doppio passaggio coreano-inglese e inglese-italiano per capire il senso). Comunque sia lo consiglio perchè è utile per imparare ma anche per la semplice curiosità di leggere qualche storia tradizionale.

Was extremely pleased upon receiving this. I've been casually self teaching my self Korean since June of last year. I started off using Duolingo which increased my interest in it, finished all it had to offer, then I moved on to TTMIK online lessons. I'm currently at mid beginner level, but didn't own any Korean language learning book to enhance my study. Got this last week after seeing it recommended many times online. Beautiful and helpful layout, and along with each story comes a concise vocabulary list. If you are turned off by mention that there is some romanization in this copy,as I was, don't worry: it's not shoved in your face romanization, you can easily ignore it, and it goes away part way through the book. This book is excellent ( in my opinion)for all levels for individuals learning Korean. So, to sum up, yes, I highly recommend purchasing this book if you are looking for a good way to improve your reading and just basic vocabulary comprehension. And the stories themselves are interesting to:) Enjoy!

I have just started to learn Korean and this is one of the best books I have found to easily increase vocabulary. The stories and vocab are well organized. Stories start very basic and increase in difficulty. Good learning tips at the end. Downloadable audio is great, just wish it had a slow version available.
