I found this book at the Youngkwang in my neighborhood, anyone seen this? It's a comic book style narrative of King Sejong and some of his life. The back of the book is educational with introductions to Hangeul and sentence structure.

The comic's balloons are written in English and Korean also.

It's intended as a learning tool for foreigners and overseas Koreans.

I just got it but it seems interesting, hopefully it's useful as well.

It makes the incredible claim of teaching Korean in 24 hours. It also claims that there are only 5 basic sentence patterns.

I could teach just about anyone with half a brain how to read and write Korean in 24 hours, if they were really interested in doing it.

It's probably the easiest language in the world to read and write. Translating and understanding it is a different story.

Sounds like you will get a good dose of propaganda with your language.

Found the "Hangul is the world's most scientific language" balloon yet?

Off topic a bit: Anyone see the comic "�Ҹ�" yet? It was being distributed among the elem. schools. It features a Korean "Rice Man" fighting off imported rice.

Pretty rich.

I learned to read Korean in an afternoon-- it was remembering the letters that took review for a week or so... learning to read and write in 24 hours? It's not that hard, at all. Just after you do it, you need review... but you can learn how it's all done in that time, no sweat.
