Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

this is the 3rd living language course I've ordered- I speak Spanish fluently and ordered the Spanish version for my parents. I was really pleased with it, so I recommend it to everyone. I ordered the French version for myself and have been super pleased with it also- I have learned a lot, even just using the course on my own. so I thought I would give the Korean version a shot since that language really interests me a lot. I saw it was coming out and preordered it. got it as soon as it was released- arrived quickly. the price was great as always for such an extensive course. I could not be happier!!! the extra book on learning to read and write hangul is something most other courses don't give you- I finished it failry quickly and have been amazed at how quickly ive learned to "read" hangul. I watch a lot of Korean tv shows (with English subtitles) but I have surprised myself now because I can now read the Korean subtitles that come up (I don't understand the meanings of the words yet but I am able to read the Korean with correct pronunciation) I think it gives you a really good basis- like a child learning to read, learning to write, sounds words out, etc. I have now moved on to the first lesson book and am learning quickly. perfect for the price- the series are always in depth, yet simple to understand. very happy and would recommend this to others. p.s. im an ESAL teacher so have experience with language teaching and find the living language method very good. it really works for me, as im a visual person and the reading and writing is what allows the language to "sink in" for me. the cds are also great too and are good for people who learn better by listening.
