i have a beginners korean book from seoul national university but do not have the tape or cd that accompanies it. i obviously don't know enough korean to look for it on the snu website, is there a bookstore that might sell it? thank you

They have 'em at Kyobo Bookstore in Gwanghwamun, but are a slight pain to find. They're right at the front of the English part of the store near the tables where most of the Korean textbooks are laid out. To the side of the tables there's a sorta vertical shelving unit, and the tapes are about 3 shelves up from the bottom.

There is now a new series of practice books for Levels 1-3 of the SNU series, too (and they're huge!), which have CDs for listening exercises. I'm on Level 4 now, but I bought the Level 3 practice book and cds just for review. Pretty decent- I'd reccommend it.

thanks a lot....1 more question, the books use tapes, but the practice book uses a cd?

Call Kyobo. They have employees who speak English very well.

The tapescripts are in the back of the book.

Sit at a coffee shop or oustide the Family Mart and ask attractive members of the opposite* sex to help you by reading the tapescripts. It's good if you've made copies of them, so you can write your answers in the book as they read them. Use a pencil.

Then, when you've had a decent conversation and hopefully got a phone number, erase your answers and repeat the exercise with the next attractive member of the opposite* sex that comes along.





*my personal preference, but someone of the same sex can be just as helpful
