I don't know from personal experience but I have heard that a lot of people like Lonely Planet's Korean phrase book. And I have heard that the integrated Korean textbooks are good as well and they have many levels to go into. Also I would look at Survival Korean by Stephen Revere, it's written from the view of a foreigner learning Korean and breaks things down into the literal english translations so it is really easy to connect grammar structure and it also has sections on Korean culture.

Hey, I do not have a book, but some study material in Dutch for you. http://www.koreanwikiproject.com/wiki/index.php?title=TTMIK_Level_1 http://www.koreanwikiproject.com/wiki/index.php?title=TTMIK_niveau_1_les_1 I do not like the English material myself. It's not because of my limited knowledge of English or something. It's because in those English book they compare Korean with English, and use a romanization based on English spelling. (And English spelling is hopelessly inconsistent to begin with.) So you get those reminders of typical mistakes English speakers would make. For example you say bek for the number hundred, not il bek, which would mean one hundred. But in Dutch you never say één honderd. So for me the remark is pretty useless and even distracting.
