Review Quotes

"Incredibly useful reference for anyone studying Korean. The index is perfect, making verbs easy to find in Hangul or by English meaning. Verb pages are visually very clean and easy to find the right conjugation, as well as including sample sentences and sentence structure at the bottom of the page. Verbs with the same spelling but different meanings are given separate pages for separate meanings." --Goodreads
