A handy Korean phrasebook and guide to the Korean language, Survival
Korean contains basic vocabulary necessary for getting around Korea.
This book contains all the necessary words and phrases for speaking
Korean in any setting. Perfect for students, tourists, or business
people learning Korean or traveling to Korea, it also contains a
beginner guide to the Korean language, allowing for a deeper
understanding of Korean than a typical Korean phrasebook or Korean

Korean a breeze. For example, the word for "Hello," Yoboseyo is also
written as Yoe-boh-say-yoh. Authentic Korean script (Hangul) is also
