I’m sorry I haven’t been updating this site much lately. I also forgot to update KoreaNthusiast. I will try to post the words later today.
I just want to share that I just received the books I ordered at Barnes and Noble.
It was suggested by a dear friend from Hangukdrama, Shanna. She suggested the KLEAR (Korean Language Education and Research Center) Series. I got six books–three textbooks and three workbooks, from beginner 1 to intermediate 1.
If you also want to buy the said books, I suggest you buy it in Barnes and Noble. They have this promo on textbooks where you can buy them at a member’s only discounted price. That means 10% off of the online price.
If you may ask how much I got the books, I got them for only $86.77 which is a good price for six books. The books are also shipped for free. So it’s really a happy day for me.
I will be posting the photos of the books and workbooks later on. See you in a while. XD
Here are the books!
Integrated Korean Textbooks
Integrated Korean Workbooks
Hey owBEe I got my Korean blog up and running now. It’s at http://www.koreanlikethis.com. I added you there already so you can add me there too. Thanks
Sure. I added you already. Thanks for linking my blog too.
wow you bought the books!! ^^ After you start using the workbooks, can you write a review of it? ^^
I’m really curious how the workbooks are like. I’ve never seen them before since my neighbourhood lib don’t have them
have fun studying korean! ^^
좋은 하루 되세요~~
Sure, I’ll try to make a review.
Anyway, can I ask a favor from you? Since the workbook doesn’t have any answer key at all, is it possible for you to correct my answers? I’m planning to make a new category here containing the exercises from the workbook. Your corrections would really be of great help once I start studying Korean again.
Thanks and have a good day too.
haha sure i’ll definitely try my best to help ^^ but i’m no where as good as a korean XD
Hi! I really enjoy your blog! I am using these same books for the Korean class I just started.. they seem pretty good so far. I look forward to reading more of your entries!
Thanks ChocoKorea.
Yeah, I agree. The books are well organized and I really find the contents to be beginner-friendly.
Btw, I added your blog in my list.
Thanks for visiting.
Cool! I have added you as well! I just began my blog, still feeling my way around WordPress. ^_^
Thanks and good luck on your blog ChocoKorea.
I’ll be visiting often.
Hi there!!!
I am also learning Korean. I started 4months ago but i had to stop. And now I guess i have to start from scratch again.
Anyway, may i know where did you order the books from? haha. i am planning to use this series since I read good reviews about it.
Your blog is really helpful. Thank you so much!

Hi Kat.
I bought the books at Barnes & Noble. I saw at Amazon.Com that Integrated Korean Beginning 1 now has a 2nd edition which will be out on November 30, 2009.
By the way, thanks for linking my site in your blog.
Thanks!
uhm, where are you from by the way?
I’m originally from the Philippines but I now live California.
How about you?
I’m from the Philippines! woah. XDD
That’s why you also have Filipino links. That’s nice.
Lol. Yeah.
Btw, I have created a Philippine blog which needs a lot of love right now. It’s called 7107 Islands. The concept of the site is pretty much like Hyunwoo Sun’s Send Me To Korea. The only difference is I’m living outside the country so I can’t really update much.
If you can, please help make it grow by linking it or by telling it to your friends who might be into photography and who might like to share their work. Please spread the love. Thanks.
Sure. I will.
If I’m not busy with school, I might also send you some info that you can use to update your blog
Thanks Kat.
Wow u’r learning Korean so hard XD I wanna study other languages too, but I have to graduate highschool first hehe. anyway, It’s Snowing! on this blog! I like it
Yep, I’m studying Korean but I only do self-studying. What languages are you planning to learn?
You have a blog at wordpress right? You can also enable the snow function in your blog. You can do that by ticking Show falling snow on my blog in extras seen under the appearance section.
