Today i'm going to share a book review to all of you. The book that i will review is a book for Korean Language Student, especially for a beginner level student who want to study Korean language. The title of this book is written in Korea, that is "세종한국어 1", which means Korean Language Sejong 1 in English. For your information, Sejong here means King Sejong. He was a Korean King who created the Korean Alphabet, mostly known as Hangul. He was really an honorable king who is very concerned with his people. Actually i'm also interested to write about King Sejong, but maybe i will write it in another post.
Okay, get back to the topic, "세종한국어 1" (Read: Sejong Hangugeo 1) is a book to study Korean Language in a beginner level. It is published by The National Institute of The Korean Language. In this book there are 12 chapters. I use this book in my Korean Language Class (You can read it in my previous post) and i used to learn one chapter for each class meeting. What i really like from this book is in each chapter there is always a new theme with new grammar to be learned and new vocabularies for each theme. For example when i learn chapter 7. Chapter 7 entitled "날씨"(Read: Nal ssi). 날씨 means weather. So, i will learn all about weather vocabularies in chapter 7 and a new grammar as well. Chapter 8 entitled "시간" (Read: Si Gan). 시간 means time. So in chapter 8 we will learn a grammar which is related about how a time should be represented in a sentence and we also will learn about another vocabularies related with time.
This book content in each chapter contains speaking, listening, reading, and writing, which i think the full package to study language. For listening itself, we will also get a CD inside the book for all listening materials. Besides, what i also like from this book is this book is full color with many pictures inside which make me interested to open each page and not feeling like study but having fun.
In Indonesia, i don't know whether there is a bookstore which sell this book or not. But what i know is we can get this book Online and this book will directly imported from Korea. I myself got this book from buying it Online in Yes24 Online Store.
Hope you will have fun learn Korea with this book. Happy study :)
