hi,

looking for a good supplementary Korean Grammar/Language book that i can use on the side to learn korean...interested in beginner-intermediate level...

can u recommend something decent u've used. i have the one from arirang, but most of it is korean, so it isn't really helpful at this time...

There is this book called "Basic Korean.pdf" (Basic Korean A Grammar and WorkBook) and you can find it online. It points out the basic grammar points straight and simple without any prerequisites and provides some questions to work through. There is also an intermediate book (Intermediate Korean A Grammar and Workbook), haven't been able to find it online though.

There is another grammar book called "Using Korean.pdf" (Using Korean A Guide to Contemporary Usage), which is a much deeper guide on grammar usage.

Here is a good blogspot guide to Korean: http://parksguide.blogspot.com/
A good podcast for beginners and intermediate level learners: http://www.talktomeinkorean.com/
For listening and writing hangul: http://www.koreanwikiproject.com

The arirang book you mentioned: Is it downloadable from the Arirang Tv website?

Get the sogang books.

Do a language exchange. Get the Korean to drill you on the grammar patterns and dialogues.

Sogang's website is good for self-study.

@HalfJapanese, the arirang book i have is a hard copy...but perhaps there might be something up on t heir site...

for self study, i think the seoul university books are your best option. they cover a lot quickly, but they are a good reference.

I just bought this. I was finding that although i could have a basic conversation i was getting confused about different grammar forms.
It's been good so far.

I highly recommend the University of Hawaii Integrated Korean books. I got quite far by doing the beginner series on my own.

I also put most sentences with the audio from the mp3s http://www.uhpress.hawaii.edu/catalogs/kleartexts.html (not vocab alone) into anki and reviewed that way.

If you decide to go that way let me know I can send you my anki deck which will save you a lot of time.
