You Speak Korean!

You Speak Korean! is a comprehensive textbook series created by a team of experienced language instructors that emphasizes grammar instruction along with integrated language practice.

Each textbook includes three units each with four lessons that cover topics relevant to student life. A preliminary chapter in Volume 1 and Volume 3 allows students to learn and reinforce the basics (such as Han'gul, pronunciation guidelines, basic vocabulary, and honorifics) before delving into the grammar based lessons where an immersion style or Korean-only approach may be used in class.

Lessons contain a vocabulary section with special exercises, a dialogue with easy-to-understand language notes, grammar instruction, exercises with both individual and partner activities, and a "Checkpoint" that presents short readings with all the grammar points from the lesson. "Culture Point" and "Language Point" sections throughout the textbook help clarify cultural nuances and proper etiquette.

Workbooks offer additional vocabulary, grammar, and four-skill practice based on the content of the textbook. A companion website offers FREE MP3 downloads, answer keys, and links to games and quizzes.

Volume 1 and 2 cover the entire first year of an introductory language course. Volume 3 and a forthcoming Volume 4 cover the second year of study at an intermediate level.
