I completed a lesson about every 5 days... and in just under 8 hours total. Since I have some experience learning/memorizing Japanese characters it might have made the process a bit easier, so I don't know how a true language-learning beginner would do with this book. But, it really worked for me. Both the instruction method, and the order that the characters were introduced just made sense. I've always been curious about reading Korean, thanks to the unique looking script, so I'm grateful that I've had the time to actually set down and learn them. I'm impressed how easy it was to put this to memory. I'll be spending the next few months reading children's stories to REALLY solidify them... I'd recommend checking out this book if you're looking to get started in Korean. I know I'll be checking out more script hacking titles in the future.

I did it!! I finished it!! I still can't believe it only took me a week to learn the Korean alphabet!! This was amazingly comprehensive and easy to understand and follow along with. I'm so glad I picked this up on impulse, because now I can identify, read, write, and pronounce every Korean letter! I'm so excited to continue learning!!

Better review to come!

Short, sweet, and logical. Explains the Korean writing system quickly and clearly.
