Congratulations on embarking on this journey of learning Korean!
This book is made to help you build a strong base in basic Korean grammar, making it easier to deepen your understanding of the language and improve your skills over time. Everything covered in this book is fundamental yet practical, which means it’s useful not just for understanding the basics, but also for real-life conversations and writing.
Rather than trying to cram everything into your memory word for word, I encourage you to go through the content at your own pace. I hope this book becomes a resource you can revisit again and again as you grow in your Korean language journey.
