Lessons 5, 10, 15 and 20 are short reviews of the key structural patterns introduced. The focus is on written Korean, but the reading texts are not academic, they are breezy, chatty, and amusing, with illustrations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe textbook comes with a free CD-ROM entitled Sino-Korean Companion, a supplement for those learners wishing to commence the study of Chinese characters as they are used in the Korean language. The 20 lessons on the CD-ROM build on the content of the lessons in the main textbook to introduce 500 Chinese characters in their Sino-Korean readings. The emphasis is on giving students the tools they need to decipher unfamiliar Chinese characters on their own, and also on Sino-Korean vocabulary acquisition. Each lesson introduces approximately 25-30 new Chinese characters along with related vocabulary items and builds on previous characters and vocabulary introduced, demonstrating the cumulative effect on one's vocabulary of paying systematic attention to Sino-Korean.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56294831391093,"sku":"9780804842495","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780804842495_50b4089b-27d0-41f8-82fb-c5d58ab12222.jpg?v=1786015680"},{"product_id":"9780804845151","title":"Continuing Korean","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFollowing Elementary Korean, Continuing Korean\u003c\/i\u003e is the second volume in Ross King and Jaehoon Yeon's popular series of college-level Korean textbooks.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume is aimed at the student with one year of Korean language study under their belt, and particularly the student who has mastered the patterns and vocabulary introduced in King and Yeon's Elementary Korean, the first book in this series. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach of the fifteen chapters in Continuing Korean introduces the new language in context, through dialogues and reading passages featuring the Murphy family and the Kim family, followed by vocabulary, grammar points, and exercises—all designed to learn Korean as thoroughly as possible.
