Korean Job Discussion Forums

[BlaisePascal]

I started compiling a list of textbooks for the Korean language. I figure people here looking for textbooks would find this list useful. (Maybe a sticky, or moved to the FAQ forum? ) Here's what I have so far. I've included ISBN numbers for each. Any mistakes, let me know.

[SuperHero]

You missed Exciting Korean Listening.

I've also been told by my sogang teacher that the level 5 books should be available later this year.

[SuperFly]

What about the Yonsei beginners class text? Anyone know where I can find it and what the name is? Better yet, anyone got a used one for sale?

[mithridates]

[Ginormousaurus]

[Ginormousaurus]

Here are the first three Yonsei reading texts.

Level 1 (ISBN 89-7141-465-0)
Level 2 (ISBN 89-7141-466-9)
Level 3 (ISBN 89-7141-467-7)

Also from Yonsei (although not taught in the classroom),

Mastering Intermediate Korean Listening Within A Month (ISBN 89-7141-738-2)

Sogang Workbooks:

Level 4A (ISBN 89-957826-4-1)
Level 4B (ISBN 89-957826-5-x)

Yes! You Can Learn KOREAN Language Structure in 40 Min.
by Tong-ku Lee
(ISBN 1-56591-091-5)

[SuperFly]

Thanks - much appreciated.

Starting the beginners night class April 5th and a little worried because I can barely read Hangul and I know about 40 expressions, but nothing to write home about. I hope I can make it through the class, it cost me 755,000 won.

[BlaisePascal]

SuperHero: I'm sure there are a lot of textbooks that I have missed. I don't pretend that this list is exhaustive. I did add the book you mentioned to the original post.

SuperFly: What do you mean by "Yonsei beginners class text?" Is the level 1 book listed under Yonsei not it, then?

mith: That's fine. I was actually going to do it later today but you beat me to it. I did go to your site and improved the formatting a bit.


EDIT: Ginormousaurus beat me to it.

Ooh, it looks like BBCode allows nested lists. I edited my original post again to include them -- it makes the list easier to read, but I just wish there wasn't so much blank space between the entries.

[Son Deureo!]

Here are a few I didn't see mentioned:

Modern Korean: An Intermediate Reader (not my favorite book, but one of relatively few intermediate textbooks out there)
by Nam-Kil Kim
ISBN 0-8248-2222-6

Korean Grammar for International Learners (very useful grammar reference)
by Ihm Ho Bin, Hong Kyung Pyo, and Chang Suk In
published by Yonsei University Press
ISBN 89-7141-554-1

Handbook of Korean Vocabulary: a Resource for Recognition and Comprehension (AKA "the blue and red book", a helpful vocabulary building supplement, helps teach hanja and native Korean roots for thousands of words, worth its wight in gold)
by Miho Choo and William O'Grady
ISBN 89-7735-930-9


The following are hanja textbooks:

A Guide to Korean Characters: Reading and Writing Hangul and Hanja
by Bruce K. Grant
ISBN 0-930878-13-2

Korean Reader for Chinese Characters
by Choon-Hak Cho, Yeon-ja Sohn, and Heisoon Yang
ISBN 0-8248-2499-7

Pictorial Sino-Korean Characters
by Rev. Jacob Chang-ui Kim
Hardcover ISBN 0-930878-58-2
Paperback ISBN 1-56591-005-2

Learn Hanja the Fun Way: Chinese Characters for Foreign Learners
by Lee Young Hee
ISBN 89-5726-232-6


I don't want anyone to get the mistaken impression that I actually know a lot of hanja based on the fact that I own these books. They're a better indication of how many times I've started and given up learning hanja.
