في البداية، كنت مشككًا في مدى فعالية هذا الكتاب لتعليمي اللغة والثقافة الكورية. كان لدي انطباع بأنني لن أتعلم سوى العبارات البسيطة ولن أحصل على العمق الثقافي المطلوب. ومع ذلك، عندما بدأت استخدامه كجزء من برنامجي للاندماج الاجتماعي، تفاجأت بالتفاصيل والشمولية التي يقدمها! يشمل الموضوعات المتنوعة والأساليب التفاعلية كما تساعد الملاحظات التاريخية والسياقية الأفراد الجدد على الارتباط بشكل أقوى بالثقافة الكورية وتطبيق ما يتعلمونه بسهولة في حياتهم اليومية. هذه المنهجية جعلت عملية التعلم أكثر جاذبية وواقعية بالنسبة لي.
