Author Description

Pattern learning in studying Korean will help you improve your Korean conversation skills more systematically and efficiently. Once you know the patterns, you can create various phrases by simply changing the words. This book contains 100 essential Korean patterns that Koreans use most frequently in their daily lives — and also, for each pattern, 5 frequently used example phrases are collected together, so at the end, you can learn a total of 500 Korean conversational phrases. This book will help beginners get used to Korean, and intermediate and advanced learners become more fluent in Korean conversation. The patterns and example phrases are composed of things that are not awkward or strange to use in daily life in Korea, but rather feel very native and natural. The pronunciations of the patterns and phrases are written in Roman letters, so it will be a great help in getting used to Korean conversation even if you can't read Korean letters. The audio files are provided as individual MP3 files for each pattern, and are provided in two versions: the standard version where you can easily check the Korean pronunciations, and the shadowing version with English pronunciations so that you can practice listening and speaking Korean without looking at the book, anytime, anywhere, such as on a bus, subway, or outdoors. The link to download the audio files is provided in the form of a QR code at the very back of this book. I hope this book will help you boost your confidence when speaking Korean, and improve your Korean conversation skills. Repeat the process of reading, listening, speaking, and practice creating your own phrases using the patterns included in this book — then, you will be confidently prepared to have conversations in Korean. Thank you.
