Good Value
Phrasebook
James Baloni from London - 19 Nov
2007
This is a good value phrasebook for Korean. The format is
as follows: English word/phrase, Korean equivalent, short
break, Korean equivalent. This allows you to speak along
the audio. This audio is the ideal companion to the Collins
GEM Korean phrasebook.
If you also have the phrasebook, you can read these phrases
(in Korean script if you prefer; a little browsing is
required, though, since the book is not just the transcript
or vice versa), but the audio works brilliantly on its own.
In contrast to other audio programmes, this one is
sensitive towards the particularities of Korean (e.g. the
two number systems, or the fact that "goodbye" is different
depending on whether you stay or leave).
The programme uses useful grammar rules which are explained
in accessible language. The audio quality is good, and the
speakers are easy to understand. The first time a word is
said in Korean, it is spoken more slowly than in the second
instance.
Apart from the shortness of the programme, the only aspect
that could have been done better - in my view - is
splitting the tracks in a way that you don't have to listen
to the grammar explanations every time when all you want to
simply revise phrases.
However, grammar explanations are generally short and most
of the audio comprises of words and short phrases. The
contents are geared towards the traveller, and less towards
a business traveller.
