 |
|
| So I have been looking at talktomeinkorean.com and started the lessons but wondering if there is anything else I should do to learn the language while I wait. I have been thinking of maybe Rosetta Stone but not to sure if it will be effective. Any advice is appreciated. |

You should get it if you know how to avoid paying hundreds of dollars for it...
Anyway, it's 100% up to your style of learning. I love TTMiK, one on one language exchange, and a little Rosetta Stone for the times when I'm too tired/bored to study on paper.
Some people do better in classrooms, with flashcards, etc. Try a lot and find out what works for you. |

The two best books I've used are Basic Korean Grammar Workbook (Andrew Sangpil Byon) and 2000 Korean words. I haven't got the book to hand but it's bright yellow/ orange and has 2000 words chosen because of TOPIK lists with a sample sentence for each. It's awesome.
I finished the grammar workbook and I think it dropped me into TTMIK around level 3 or 4. I'm progressing ok with the site, but I find it doesn't go into my memory the way the book does so I forget more. I also had an old copy of a colloquial Korean book that was in my old school office that introduced really useful grammar points. I wish I'd 'accidentally' taken it home with me now...! |
