"Comes with CD and the beginning hits you with the basics: simple
phrases and hangul. Each lesson builds upon the grammar you've
learned in the previous lesson so it's not hard. Well organized and
easy to get through." --Linguajunkie.com blog

Yeon's Elementary Korean. They come with CD's the workbook comes
with an answer key, they get great reviews, and in general, they
should serve youwell for taking you through the basics on your
own." --Fluentforever.com blog
"The explanations of grammar are very easy to understand and very
thorough. The vocabulary lists are very good as well. I just highly
recommend these books because they are very easy to understand,
nice hardback books with a good binding, include an audio cd, and
also present good vocabulary and grammar."

"The layout makes for a digestible read; each chapter begins with a
dialogue and vocabulary list, followed by grammar points and
exercises. The chapters are spattered with side notes that warn
about common mistakes and caveats in a given lesson. I also have
the accompanying workbook, which gives a lot of good practice."
