Elementary Korean offers a complete, systematic and streamlined first-year course in Korean for the English-speaking adult learner. Inspired by Beginning Korean by Samuel E. Martin and Young-Sook C. Lee, it presents completely new dialogues, reading texts, grammar notes, and written exercises, all in Han'gul, the Korean alphabet. Based on ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines, Elementary Korean is geared toward an Intermediate-Low to Intermediate-Mid proficiency level. This volume features rich and highly nuanced examples, a systematic layout, detailed but non-technical grammar notes, ample written exercises with an accompanying answer key, adult vocabulary, and optimum pattern sequencing. It's ideal for both self-learners and organized courses and is accompanied by a 74-minute audio CD.
