Korean Language Textbooks |
Learning the Korean Language is not a walk in the park. Many missionaries can testify that learning a language was the
hardest thing they have ever done. However, it is not impossible to learn to speak Korean fluently. Below is a
compiled list of time-tested, missionary-recommended, Korean Language Textbooks. These resources are invaluable in the
mission field.
|
Foundation Grammar is the best beginning level missionary text on the
Korean Language. This timeless book was written by
Robert H. Slover II
while he served as a missionary in the Seoul Korea Mission in the early 1970s. Elder Slover later
became the ninth president of the Korea Pusan Mission (1999-2002). Please contact him if you are
interested in obtaining a copy of the book.

Speaking Korean Book II is another excellent choice. Many missionaries find this book to be a great next
step after Foundation Grammar. The great thing about this book is that it is packed with examples.
Each new language form is usually accompanied by five to ten examples. This is a great choice for those
who learn by repetition.
