If you're looking for a phrase book, I'd recommend "Making Out in Korean"...tons of colloquialisms and great ice breakers. Everything from eating out to the language of love, etc.
For basic language, the "Korean through English" series is decent as well. |

| Bandi and Lundi in Jongno (basement of Millenium Tower/Jongak Station, Line #1) and at COEX. Not sure if they sell the phrase book at Kyobo. |

For sure. If you're looking for a book that you can learn useful phrases from, that's it. No one book will get you to fluency, but this one will help you get into bed. Well, you'll have to do some of the work... |
