Editorial Review:
The Beginning Level texts and workbooks are the first of a four- level series (Beginning 1 and 2, Intermediate 1 and 2, Advanced Intermediate, and Advanced) developed collaboratively by leading classroom teachers and linguists of Korean. All series volumes have been developed in accordance with performance-based principles and methodology-learner-centeredness, contextualization, use of authentic materials, function/task-orientedness, balance between skill getting and skill using, and integration of speaking, listening, reading, writing, and culture. Grammar points are systematically introduced with simple but adequate explanations and abundant examples, exercises, and drills. Each situation/topic-based lesson of the main texts consists of two or three model dialogues, narration, new words and expressions, pronunciation notes, vocabulary notes, culture, grammar, task/function, and English translation of dialogues. The workbooks provide students with extensive skill-using activities based on the skills learned from the main texts. Integrated Korean is a project of the Korean Language Education and Research Center (KLEAR) with the support of the Korea Foundation. In addition to the four-level textbooks and workbooks, forthcoming volumes include instructor's manuals, Chinese Character Studies, Korean Composition, Selected Readings in Korean, Readings in Modern Korean Literature, Korean Language in Culture and Society, and A Dictionary of Korean Grammar and Usage.

Rating:  - Best Product I Have See So Far
I have several Learning Korean Books, but Integrated Korean is by far the best, and, in fact, the only Korean language course that connects the islands of learning I have had so far. It goes slow and repeats the material just enough (for me) to get it. I do only self study, so I do not need the workbooks, and since my wife is Korean, I do not need the accompanying audio.
I think Korean is too hard for someone to learn without help in any case, so even Integrated Korean may not be sufficient ... Read More
Rating: - Essential Korean Textbook
Coming from the perspective of someone trying to learn Korean outside of the classroom with no teacher, this book is indispensible to my collection. It is very difficult to begin with, however, since even from Chapter 1 the book does not provide a romanized version of Korean writing. Without a teacher to help with the sounds, I first turned elsewhere to learn Korean writing--especially CD-Rom programs like Rosetta Stone and Instant Immersion-33 Languages. These helped me connect sounds and Korean script. ... Read More
Rating:  - no answers
what good is a text with no answers? I found the book almost unusable, as I study by myself. There was no way to check my answers. I emailed the publisher, and they said there were no answers or teacher's book. Can not recommend a book like this.
Rating: - (One of) the Best
The Integrated Korean Series is the best overall textbook for learning Korean that I have found. I contains plenty of exercises, and even more in the separate workbook. There is more vocabulary than in most other books. Much of the vocabulary has to do with college and classes, but the book teaches more than enough vocabulary that an be used in all situations. Integrated Korean explains the grammar points well, and teaches different styles of speech that are useful for talking to seniors, people of the same ... Read More
Rating: - Great book
This was the required textbook for my Korean class and I am amazed at how good it is. While you should still have a native Korean speaker help you out, the book actually shows you how to pronounce each sound in English phonetics. It also teaches you correct grammar, something lacking in many American-born Koreans. My wife is Korean and I'm not but now I have even better grammar than her! It's great that it teaches you properly, but also easily, with conversational phrases and common words. Korean is very ... Read More
