What kind of condition are they in? Workbooks been written in and so forth?

I'm studying Korean quite a lot right now, and am a notorious packrat where books are concerned...

Best,
Justin

Got plenty of milk.

Certainly don't need a cow. Wouldn't have space for it anyway. Wink

Might be interested in a fair few of these books, though.

I'd be interested in the translations of the folk tales.

Hey there,

Have you used all these books yourself? If so, could you recommend the best one for me and I would buy it off you?

I have a beginner book now that I've used and I've learned,

This/that is a...
Where/There is...
I live in...
I'm from...
Basics like hello,goodbye, nice to meet you, my name is, etc...
Give me a...
There is a...
Various verbs that mainly focus on classroom talk...(it's a book for teaching children Korean as their second language in a classroom setting)
And then some various nouns...

I'll be in Seoul this weekend and can meet up with you. Have any recommendations, and how much? I'd really like to learn more conversational words.

...three more books to add to the lists...

one is a Korean to English children's cartoon picture dictionary.

It has definitions and sample sentences in both languages. This book is a lot of fun to learn from.

Next is a big Minjungseorim's English to Korean dictionary. It is in OK shape, but not great.

Last is a 2006 English-Korean Oxford picture dictionary.

The books and materials in general are in very condition with very little if any writing in them.

I am living in Guri and can meet up in Seoul to make the exchange. Just let me know what you want.

Hi. How about the level of the Barron's?
It looks good but I don't want anything that's too basic.
Thanks.

It is "the same course used by the U.S. Government to train Diplomatic Personnel".

18 cassettes (90 minutes each) and a book. List price $80. I'll let it go for 25,000 Won.

Is there anything else you want? I'd prefer to sell a lot at once to make a meet-up worthwhile.

BTW, my phone number is 010 3298 3360. Call or text me anytime.

I wish you would have posted this before I put an order in with Darakwon...

Are any of your Darakwon books still good? Specifically Arirang 2?
