"…the vocab is divided into many organized sections that are easy for learners to search through words they are interested in learning." --Jamieliew.com
"It's written in a very approachable style -- like having someone at the side talk to you and guide you along. Very structured, and the book uses a lot of tables, which makes things very clear." --Hangudrama blog
"The travel vocabulary was especially helpful. Some of the smaller towns we explored did not have a lot of English speakers, and so we had to rely on my Korean skills to navigate the buses, trains, and taxis. And these books are small, so they fit easily into a purse or backpack without weighing you down." --These Temporary Tents blog
