Introduction This book is a light-weight guide on how to pick up the Korean language quickly and easily, and start using it right away in stores, on the street, and with friends or co-workers.

In the process of learning everyday conversational Korean, you will obtain the pieces that make Korean workhow Korean verbs conjugate, the style of speech you need to use for each occasionso you can start generating the language on your own once you have finished studying the book. This book covers a wide range of useful and practical topics that can be instantly adopted in everyday life: from the basics of Hangul, the Korean alphabet, and talking about yourself and your surroundings (e.g., introducing oneself, talking about housing and the neighborhood, getting around a building, etc.) to specific situational exchanges (e.g., shopping, getting a haircut at the salon, ordering food at a restaurant, visiting a hospital, etc.). For your practice, each chapter contains two model dialogues with cartoons, vocabulary, and expressions, along with thematic vocabulary lists, grammar notes, and culture notes. Likewise, you will have ample opportunity to practice new expressions and grammatical structures through pattern practices and exercises. We have laid the grammar out progressively, which, in some places, may seemingly be redundant, for the purposes of expansion and reinforcement. In our previous book
