Essential Korean Grammar

I immediately fell in love with this grammar book. Not only are the lessons clear and easy to understand (best geared for Korean learners at least at upper beginner level, imo), but the writer is WITTY and CLEVER. Each lesson is fun to read, simply for the author's writing style. I have laughed while studying, making the experience that much more enjoyable. Korean students should have this book in their library. it's a must!

Laura provides a resource that is sorely lacking in Korean textbooks. This book is an excellent guide to Korean grammar, breaking down points into logical categorizations and providing solid explanations for the slight variations in the usage of similar grammar points, which make the difference between being able to understand and speak Korean to also being able to pick up on subtle nuances. The only note I would have about the best time to use this book would be that you should have some background in Korean, such as being high-beginner up to low-advanced being the idea proficiency range to get the most out of this book.

I thought this would be an overview of grammar that even beginners could read through with little trouble, or at least people who have experience learning languages. It is more for intermediate users of Korean since some sections point out that you should already know or be familiar with certain concepts. I didn't find it easy to locate certain topics either since it's not organized in a way that is similar to other grammar books. I didn't return it though since I think it will be useful once I get better at Korean. Still looking for an overview of Korean grammar that is not too dense or confusing for beginners or polyglots who just want to get the basics at first.

Very thorough, well organized. I particularly like the star system, which lets you know which usages are most/least common while still giving a comprehensive description. Not to be read cover to cover, but a really useful resource.

Great for reference

I was looking for a book that would compare and consolidate Korean grammar and it seemed that this might be the book. I purchased the Kindle version so I could more easily tote around from one continent to another what seemed like an excellent resource. Unfortunately a few pages into the Kindle version, I found the Korean typos to be extremely distracting and returned the book. I know enough Korean spelling and grammar to detect the mistakes and want to warn Korean learners who may not know as much to not purchase the Kindle version of this book.

Excellent product.

Love it
