Useful Korean Phrases

It has useful Korean phrases, repeated twice after English expressions. It would be useful to provide a pdf of the transript of the audiobook.

Good numbers section

I didn’t like that you have to listen for over 90 seconds of Chapter One in the first track before the Korean starts. Also, the table of contents is unmarked and no pdf with it. The numbers section is relatively good. It’s pretty hilarious that they claim that if you listen a few times you’ll have no problems getting around in Korea.

not enough

I suppose if you were going to Korea and staying with native speakers this would be okay. But if you are going alone....you are going to need a translator or learn a lot more.
