Whatever you do, don't try to learn any grammar from Koreans. I've yet to meet a Korean who knew anything about Korean grammar.


There are very few (if any?) korean tutors who actually know how to teach it as a second language.

I mean in an interesting way.

I personally like the Yonsei books. They are good for learning grammar. Get the main books then listen to the dialogues over and over again, repeating aloud.

One more book you might want to add to your list is Survival Korean by Stephen Revere, the former host of Let's Speak Korean on Arirang TV.

It is the most useful Korean book I've ever purchased -- being taught Korean by a fellow native-English speaker is very helpful.

According to Steven Revere's Facebook page, the new edition is scheduled to be released sometime in the near future.

The original version can still be purchased at any of the major bookstores, such as Kyobo or Bandi and Luni's.

Here's the Amazon link, if you'd like to take a look at the cover and read the book description:
