Excellent book for Korean vocabulary
I have used this book for a month and find it has helped me with my desire to learn Korean. The audio files are excellent. I wish they would have a little more time between words so I could repeat easier. Sometimes the next word is spoken before I spit out the last word. This is my only criticism.

Disappointed
I thought because I had bought the Read and Speak Beginner's book earlier and this author was one of them that the audio cd would be set up the same, that the English word would be given and then the Korean word, but that is not how it is. The Audio CD is good, but only if you are looking at the book at the same time. It is a straight list of the words from the book spoken only in Korean. Good for pronunciation, but not much else. Since I like to listen on my itouch while I am working this was a disappointment to me. The book set up is nice, and I am sure it will be helpful, but the CD was disappointing.

Good logic, easy to follow
I had already another book of the author, what I found very easy to follow also. Logical, well organized, good CD and cards.

Sencillo y fácil
El libro es justo lo que necesitaba. Tiene varios capítulos cada uno con un tema, y cada uno de ellos las palabras más importantes, con la palabra en coreano, en inglés (el libro está en inglés) y su pronunciación. Trae un CD de apoyo y dentro tiene ejercicios y juegos para practicar.
