I thought this CD was all right until I played it for my Mom. She is Korean and ripped apart this CD. She thought it was overpriced, that the speakers used weren’t that great. Her opinion was that the makers of the CD got students to do the speaking parts for a low price.

I thought that the CD would come with a book, but it did not. I also did not like how the Korean language spoken was not really translated. It’s too bad I waited past the return period to listen to it. It would have been a return.

This tape is IMPOSSIBLE to follow if you are a beginner. It completely frustrated me and I abandoned my goal to learn Korean.

This is not for beginners. I bought the “Learn in your car” series for Mandarin and that fantastic. That was truly something a beginner could learn. I wish they had a version for Korean. When I popped this one into the CD player, what I got was something completely different. I couldn’t follow along and I wondered if I had left something supplementary that comes with it. This thing is like trial by fire or for someone who has familiarity with Korean already, cause they literally just throw phrases at you without breaking it down for the learner. This is less “Teach yourself” than it is “practice by yourself”

If you are a complete beginner this is not the book for you. Teach yourself series are based on British ascent, so if you are American it will be more difficult.
