vi S tudying a new language is, without doubt, a challenging task, but at the same time, it is the most eective tool in our human hands to bring about peace in the world. It enables us to take a look inside other cultures and civilizations, get to know people from dierent backgrounds, and understand others and ourselves a little more deeply. Studying the Korean language is even more challenging and fascinating than studying other languages. Korea has an ancient culture. Over the centuries, it has— amazingly—been able to mix all the inuences coming from Central Asia, the Steppes, Manchuria, China, Japan, and the West into a beautiful, brilliant, and unique new culture. This cultural richness has aected the Korean language, following a very long process of adoption and establishment of new terms, sounds, and expressions coming from abroad. And even if the vocabulary of the language is already boundless, new generations of Koreans continue to create and add new words (neologisms) day by day. In this way, they update their language to reect new trends and new social phenomena. It is di?cult to nd another language in the world that is as creative and innovative as Korean. However, this makes Korean a very di?cult language to learn, above all for people whose mother language is neither Chinese nor Japanese. It takes years to become uent and pronounce the language well enough to be understood. But don't be discouraged. After a few weeks of study, you will start to recognize words, make sentences, and have simple (but miraculous) conversations with other Korean speakers! (At the very beginning, it will be quite humiliating, but this is part of the game we decided to play.) Understanding the words to Korean songs, dramas, and movies will be the next step. This book is a complete guide for people who want to learn the language, starting from the very beginning, and learn the alphabet and the correct sounds of vowels,

vii consonants, and diphthongs. It was written for people who want an easy but systematic approach to the language. The writer is a non-native speaker (me!) who started learning the language from ZERO, just like you and spent years in Korea trying to reach a better level of prociency. Don't forget. The language you are going to study using this book, the people who speak it, and the culture that produced it are AMAZING. It is important that you remember that while studying this language. By reading the pages of the book, working through the exercises, and memorizing the words step by step, you will be forging your keys to the doors of Korean culture.

1.This book is divided into fourteen units. The rst three deal with the Korean

alphabet (vowels, consonants, and diphthongs), sounds, and phonology, and explain the main features of the language (verbs, linguistic protocol, particles, punctuation marks, and the lexicon).

2. Some simple grammatical ele-

ments will be introduced from Unit 4.

Each unit has a cover page featuring

the main words used in that unit. Unlike many other Korean textbooks, this one begins with the formal level of speech.

We have chosen to begin this way be

cause verbs follow a more regular conju- gation pattern; therefore, it is easier for beginners to understand.

3.Every unit begins with a short text, which

introduces and contextualizes the gramma points examined in that unit. Finally, each unit contains a section providing an in-depth analysis of the grammar points taught in that unit, as well as exercises for practice.
