Reviews for Korean Script Hacking: The Optimal Pathway to Learn the Korean Alphabet

Although Hangul's individual basic letters are easily memorized, most foreign students of Korean struggle to read the language well even several years into their study because many of the sounds the letters represent are unfamiliar, and because they are not written in one direction, but combined into syllabic blocks. Therefore, even most advanced textbooks resort to Romanization of Korean words, which are placed under the Hangul text, but as Western eyes naturally focus on the familiar forms, this hinders rather than helps reading fluency. Thankfully, Judith Meyer now offers a pedagogical breakthrough with her fresh new approach to learning Hangul. Any beginning student of Korean would be well advised to work through this book on script before opening any introductory grammatical textbook. The small investment of time required will soon be paid back with ample interest in the ability to read with ease.
