Excelente para practicar coreano
Llegó súper rápido y en excelentes condiciones. Las historias son muy buenas y ayudan a practicar coreano. Lo único malo es que no llegó con el CD que supuestamente está incluído.

Ottimo
Ottimo libro per chi inizia a studiare coreano. Si passa dalle storie brevissime e semplici, a quelle via via più complicate. Per ogni storia c'è una lista dei vocaboli utilizzati, domande sulla comprensione del testo e curiosità riguardo a quella determinata storia (sono racconti del folclore quindi ho apprezzato molto che ci siano degli approfondimenti e spiegazioni). Ovviamente bisogna sapere l'inglese e fare attenzione alla traduzione poichè non è tutto tradotto letteralmente (io me ne sono accorta perchè sto studiando coreano e mi rendo conto che la traduzione certe volte viene adattata, un pò come avviene con i sottotitoli, quindi bisogna fare il doppio passaggio coreano-inglese e inglese-italiano per capire il senso). Comunque sia lo consiglio perchè è utile per imparare ma anche per la semplice curiosità di leggere qualche storia tradizionale.

Beautiful and helpful layout: highly recommend:)
Was extremely pleased upon receiving this. I've been casually self teaching my self Korean since June of last year. I started off using Duolingo which increased my interest in it, finished all it had to offer, then I moved on to TTMIK online lessons. I'm currently at mid beginner level, but didn't own any Korean language learning book to enhance my study. Got this last week after seeing it recommended many times online. Beautiful and helpful layout, and along with each story comes a concise vocabulary list. If you are turned off by mention that there is some romanization in this copy,as I was, don't worry: it's not shoved in your face romanization, you can easily ignore it, and it goes away part way through the book. This book is excellent ( in my opinion)for all levels for individuals learning Korean. So, to sum up, yes, I highly recommend purchasing this book if you are looking for a good way to improve your reading and just basic vocabulary comprehension. And the stories themselves are interesting to:) Enjoy!

Je recommande vivement, très bon livre
Très bon livre pour s'entraîner à lire des textes en coréen et surtout apprendre du vocabulaire. Le livre est bien structuré, avec des questions sur le texte pour voir si la compréhension est acquise. Il y a même une expression écrite qui est proposée à chaque nouveau texte. Je n'ai pas encore essayé le CD mais même sans, le livre est déjà très enrichissant pour un intermédiaire en coréen. La livraison est très longue, seul point négatif mais c'est peut-être en raison du covid-19.
