Intermediate Korean language education textbook

This is another university-style textbook, developed by the University of Hawaii for its students studying Korean. It’s a very good textbook for a university classroom, which doesn’t always translate 100% to self-study, but this one does a pretty good job. It’s more of an academic approach, which might appeal to some people over the more ‘conversational’ textbooks above.

Pros:

Lots of examples of grammar points

Some good cultural context and authentic materials within lessons

Has 10 volumes, so if you like this style, you can follow it all the way to advanced.

Cons:

Can feel a bit too ‘academic’ or stuffy

Outdated in places (older expressions)

Notes:

Avoid the Kindle edition! (missing pages and complaints)

Some copies being sold don’t come with the audio
