강미 | learning koreanRoadmap to Korean
Based on Blinger’s recommendation, I recently purchased Richard Harris’ Roadmap to Korean.
I read about this book when it first came out, and although its subject interested me, I’ve learned that not all books written by expats (in Korea or otherwise) should be purchased (or even published). However, Blinger’s recommendation encouraged me to take the plunge, and I found myself virtually plunking down a very real $27.95 (I haven’t paid full price for a book in years).
While I’ll never be able to read a book without a few quibbles along the way, last evening’s preliminary survey assured me that I didn’t make the wrong choice. Roadmap to Korean is both engaging and informative. I can’t be certain how useful an advanced student would find it, but this beginner expects to learn loads of new information. It will also provide a fine excuse to study during my upcoming hiatus.
Expect future posts on particular chapters. And if you’re a student of Korean, get your hands on a copy. It’s worth a lot more than its $27.95 price tag.
