Intended for teacher-independent learning, this revision of the 2000 edition has been updated to correct erroneous orthographic spellings and replace colloquial spellings with official ones, while also incorporating other modifications to verbal and grammatical conventions. King (Elementary Korean) and Yeon (Studies in Korean Morpho-Syntax) offer a 15-lesson introduction to Korean basics, detailing the social conventions influencing word choice and sentence construction. The book does not include romanizations but phonetic transcriptions for swifter phonic comprehension. Over 1000 new vocabulary words are presented. Engaging, novel exercises like Sudoku puzzles and character dialogs reinforce key concepts.
