Much more than Korean phrasebook, Practical Korean has been written to fill a specific need: that of the hundreds of thousands of people now visiting Korea for business or holidays or even living there for a year or two, who wish to learn something of the spoken Korean language around them. The grammatical structure of Korean is particularly complicated, and difficulties plague foreign students learning Korean. Samuel E. Martin, renowned Asian language expert and professor emeritus at Yale University has simplified some of the common problems to acquaint the reader with the most useful way to say a lot of everyday things, without having to memorize long lists of grammatical rules. The compact size makes it ideal for traveling to Korea or reading on a plane, train or bus.
The sentences are almost all given in the polite (yo) style, which is both the simplest and the most widely used. From this manner, another common stylethe Intimate styleis easily derived by merely dropping the final particle. From a practical point of view, this is the quickest and simplest way to put a foreigner into direct communication with Koreans, including the use of a Korean phrasebook. The student will quickly make progress learning to comprehend and speak Korean. The material is presented using the romanization method of written Korean that is officially authorized by the Korean government as well as the native Korean script (Hangeul). Practical Korean is grouped into 47 lessons that cover all the common topics of conversation, grammar and vocabulary.

Most people are surprised to learn that the worlds largest publisher of books on Asia had its beginnings in the tiny American state of Vermont. The companys founder, Charles E. Tuttle, belonged to a New England family steeped in publishing. And his first love was naturally booksespecially old and rare editions. Immediately after WW II, serving in Tokyo under General Douglas MacArthur, Tuttle was tasked with reviving the Japanese publishing industry, and founded the Charles E. Tuttle Publishing Company, which thrives today as one of the worlds leading independent publishers. Though a westerner, Charles was hugely instrumental in bringing a knowledge of Japan and Asia to a world hungry for information about the East.
By the time of his death in 1993, Tuttle had published over 6,000 books on Asian culture, history and arta legacy honored by the Japanese emperor with the Order of the Sacred Treasure, the highest tribute Japan can bestow upon a non-Japanese. With a backlist of over 1,500 titles, Tuttle Publishing is more active today as at any time in its pastinspired by Charles core mission to publish fine books to span the East and West and provide a greater understanding of each.

My purpose in sticking to one style is to provide the reader with the means to say a great many different things, rather than teach him a great many ways to say the same thing. From an academic point of view, this approach has certain drawbacks. From a practical point of view, however, it is the quickest and simplest way to put the foreigner into direct communication with Koreans, and that is the aim of this book. The material is presented using the standard Korean Government Romanization system which is now being widely adopted in Korea. The equivalents in other romanization systems are given in the table at the very end of this book. If the reader plans to go on with his study of Korean beyond the material contained in this book, he will probably find it advisable to do so either in the native script ( Hangeul ) or in one of the other romanization systems shown in the table at the end of the lessons.
For a scientific description of the structure of Korean, the reader is referred to the authors other publications, Korean Phonemics and Korean Morphophonemics . I hope that the material contained in this bookwhile perhaps oversimplifying a complicated languagewill be of some immediate, practical use to the reader who wants to learn some Korean. And I hope some of those who learn Korean in a hurry will find such an interest in the language and the people who speak it that they will someday spare the time and patience needed to master the language more in depth.
