Basic Korean: A Grammar and Workbook

           

If you already mastered the Korean Alphabets (i.e, vowels & consonants), then this would be a best introduction for beginners of Korean Hangul learners. It has 25 units which guides to basic grammatical structure of standard Korean sentence. This book has clear explanations of grammatical terms and has exercises at the end of the unit lessons. Of course, the key to exercises is provided after the last unit. 

Intermediate Korean: A Grammar and Workbook

This is the complementary book of the Basic Korean: A Grammar and Workbook. Thus, it further discusses the grammatical structure of Korean Language. This book has 24 advance units with exercises at the end of each unit.  Just like the first book, it has jargon-free explanations of grammar and all its Korean entries were presented in Hangul with English translations to understand easily by the learners.

Anyway, these two books were written by an Associate Professor at State University of New York in Albany where he teaches courses on Korean language and civilization. So, this proves that these books are absolutely an ideal learning tool for everyone who wants to learn Korean language, Hangeul.
