Korean Made Simple 2: The next step in learning the Korean language

It's really good, specially for grammar I definitely recommend it. If you buy this book, definitely buy the exercise book as well, it will be extremely helpful. It's not boring, actually is really entertaining and very clear in all explanations. Also I love its advanced notes, which help you to understand more some grammar points. I love this books.

As a Korean language teacher, Author BIlly Go is Really SIncere and Devoted to teaching the Wonderful and Exotic language of Korean!!!! i Entirely Recommend the First and Second Level of This Korean Paperback to Anyone Who wants to Learn Korean!! the FIrst Level Paperback Is Ideal Even For Absolute Beginners, As It Starts to Teach the Required Korean Alphabet, Hangul!!! the Correct Stroke Order to write Each Korean letter Is DIsplayed and Explained Very Clearly, In the FIrst Volume. At this Stage, As i have Unfortunate and Natural Lifelong Learning Disabilities, i Could write about FIve words in Korean. Korean Writing and its Fonts Is High - Tech, Beautiful and Exotically Unique For me. i'm Pleasantly Surprised That In KMS Volume 2,, BIlly Go explains something that i Never knew Before: That it is Much Better to write Short(er) Korean Sentences, Which are More Compact and to the Point. In that way, You Sound More Natural to Native speakers, As You are Learning their Korean Language!!! i had believed the Opposite, Until i Checked KMS Level 2!!! Regardless of Age, Anyone Can Learn Korean: You do Not have to Be a Linguist In Order to do So, Very Fortunately!!!! i'm So Very Lucky that the Hangul Alphabet Is Simple and Not Difficult to Learn!!! By the Way, Are "Mandarin Made Simple" Paperbacks going to Be Published In the Near Future, Hopefully??? Thank You.

this book series has been an amazing resource for someone who has been self-studying Korean. There is plenty of explanation on grammar points, practice opportunities, and lots of vocab. I would also recommend getting the workbook to go along with it!

I really like Billy's sense of humor that runs throughout the book. The sample dialogues always have a "punchline" that makes the work of translating them worth it. The sample sentences are all either useful or humorous (or both really). I've copied so many into anki in order to memorize them, so I have an arsenal of useful phrases to pull out when I need them or when I need to remember a grammar point. They are not traveller phrases, but ones you can use with Korean friends or language partners in conversation. The subtle humor of the book makes it fun and it's so refreshing for a textbook to not take itself so seriously! The exercises at the end of the each chapter start easy and increase in difficulty, so just when you're feeling confident you realize you will still benefit from a second read-through. There are just a few small things I wish were a little different. First is that I wish each chapter would refer to the corresponding YouTube videos he has made. A quick reference could easily be added to his website. Second, I have the kindle version of the book and it definitely isn't as pretty as the book appears in the Amazon preview. It reads more like a text document without the formatting, insets, etc. The upside of the kindle version is in the highlighting and flashcard features. I also wish the table of contents would list the grammar points in each chapter, because it's hard when I want to look up a specific point. It might be easier to do that with the paper version. But these are small things that probably apply to many ebooks, but maybe it will help you decide what is better for you. I chose to buy the third book as an ebook too, because the benefit of reading the textbook on my computer with all my other resources is worth it to me.

LOVE IT! No complaints.

I had already been studying Korean on and off for a couple of years by the time I found Billy's books. The best review I can give these books is that all of the gaps in knowledge that left me scratching my head from other books was revealed in the first few chapters. The first couple of days reading Korean Made Simple was a constant series of "light bulb" moments where everything finally started to make sense. A few years later and this is still the #1 must have set of books I recommend to anyone interested in getting started with learning Korean! Buy it now, thank me later!

I have the first 2 books in this series. I love them. Super easy to understand. The audio files help with pronunciation for all of us self taught language learners. And he keeps it interesting. Its almost like Billy is talking directly to you.

These books are an excellent source. I use multiple sources, and these books along with his Youtube channel are the best I have found by a teacher that is not a native speaker. I like learning from native speakers as well, but non-native often see things from a perspective that native speakers don't have. Also they have gone through the same journey, will have encountered many of the same hurdles you will face, and have solutions for them. Whether this is your main source or not, it will definitely improve your Korean learning.

If you loved the first book like I did, you will love this one too! I will also buy the 3rd book once I finish this one :)

Definitely need to get the entire series, it's just that good.

Niece liked it

This is awesome. The chapters are going slowly so that you unterstand everything. Although I always wish for more dialogues.
