"Great book for non-native speaking learning."
"Very good quick assignments and practice work for home."
"The book is helpful for beginner learners.Well organized and easy to use."
"6th grade teacher: I love this great for cloze read!!"
"Its spelling is also highly phonetic and, in my experience, the language is not particularly difficult to learn as long as you spend some time studying and practice with native speakers. In my experience, most Somalis are very helpful toward people trying to learn their language and are understanding if you have trouble pronouncing things correctly."

"Enjoyed the story."
"Amazing Reading."
"Over all a good story, but the I intimate scenes seemed to all use the EXACT same descriptive words for love making...Also the books are all very poorly edited making you guess what the author was trying to say when they mistyped, and the last book even has a chapter misplaced that leaves you trying to figure out what happened."
"omg... very addicting!!"

There was also several mentions of an injury that is never resolved - if it was important enough to mention it several times, let us know what happened regarding it. if you are willing to struggle through the editing issues."

Best Korean Language Instruction

Korean Made Simple is a book for anyone who wishes to begin learning the Korean language. He has spent several years living in South Korea, and still visits often.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"That being said, there are a few things that I would have liked to see, especially in a beginner's book. It took about 8 chapters before I felt comfortable reading the Hangul font, and I was often copying down the WRONG spelling due to my complete inability to read that font. I would have liked to see the first chapter or two have both the typical font and the handwriting font for all the words in order to better familiarize the differences between the two fonts. Only occasionally in later chapters are new concepts introduced with the cleaner font, but most new words are in the handwriting font. Again, totally preferential, but I find myself diligently taking notes through out a chapter, do the 6-10 lines of practice at the end, and then moving on to the next chapter without realizing I'm not ready due to a lack of real structure in the chapter's end. It'd just be nice to see a bit more repetition, a bit more "work" in order to drive home concepts that were taught during a chapter."
"The real distinguishing aspect of this book is its treatment of introducing the Korean language. As the author is an American that visited Korea, you can be certain that learning formal Korean was essential to everyday interactions."
"The one star is lacking because the book appears to be a stand alone book but the way the author goes over Hangul is as if after seeing the letters once you should be able to know what they are immediately."
"Honestly this book is so good :) it starts slow which is good."
"And the BillyGo website is a great tool to accompany the book."
"Book also contains a massive amount of vocabulary that I've personally found useful in real-life situations, and some words might seem out of place but do however make sense put in to context."
"If you get to Level 2 you would be ready for this book as long as you did there Hangul training book."

"The German in this text is simple enough that if you have reached a slight stage past beginner, then you will find yourself actually reading a book in German, albeit with some words here and there that need to be learned, which the book does nicely at anticipating these words and providing translations to them."
"I found the stories just long enough to introduce a range of concepts and expressions. The sample of words chosen for explanation at the end of each is well thought out."

"With the knowledge I received from Easy French, coupled with a sample of Pimsleur really increased my verbal fluency. When I was depending on what I learned from Easy French, I would still struggle with phonetic French. If you have a talent to pick up languages by ear, then I recommend you go through the Pimsleur French first and Easy French second. I have always had french classes in my youth and somehow I retained a lot of the basic grammar, which helped in the easy way I swept through the first couple of chapters in Easy French.

"After reading the reviews I quickly purchased both Japanese from Zero 1 and 2 and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. In the past year I have attempted to learn Japanese I often memorized the sentences presented to me with very little understanding of why a certain particle was used and how the grammar worked(hence the wall I hit). I finally found myself capable of applying grammar to my own sentences rather than simply memorizing the one's presented to me. Nearly once every lesson I came across a hirigana letter that I didn't recognize and it would take me a good 5min each time before I realized that it was a mistake and we hadn't actually been introduced to the letter yet. I also wish there was an ending section to the book with 'extra practice problems' or 'put it all together' activities to apply everything you learned in the entirety of the book."
"It also has audio examples for nearly everything in the book, as well as flash games to help things stick in your memory. The printed book contains a “workbook” section that I feel is worth the price alone. This book is great enough on it's own, but when you combine the 3 resources together, you have a truly amazing method to learn Japanese. If you put in your own honest hard work, and effort into these lessons, you will KNOW this information inside, and out before moving on."
