Bootstrap Korean Grammar: Learn step-by-step with 185 grammar topics and 3200 examples

Over 500 pages packed with 185 grammar topics and over 3200 annotated examples, Bootstrap Korean Grammar provides a comprehensive grounding in the fundamentals of Korean grammar using a proven highly effective systematic and incremental method.

Starting from the beginning, the idea is progress in small self-contained steps (called 'topics'). Each topic builds on the last, by incrementally adding new grammatical patterns, new vocabulary and lots and lots of useful examples.

Bootstrap Korean Grammar proves that a solid grounding in grammar basics is the key to mastering a second language. Grammatical rules and concepts are clearly explained with one topic building on the next - reenforcing the patterns learned earlier while incrementally introducing new material. Hundreds of new words are introduced alongside the grammar to help learners quickly build their Korean speaking and comprehension prowess.

Each topic includes a thorough explanation of the grammar and then lots of examples that illustrate the grammar. Each example includes an English translation, as well as notes highlighting how each example illustrates that topic's grammar, as well as the meanings of new Korean words as they are encountered.

THE COMPANION MOBILE APP

A companion mobile application is now available called Bootstrap Korean Grammar. The app includes all the same content as in this book - 185 grammar topics and over 3200 example phrases. And in additional, there is high quality Korean native-speaker audio for every example.

The mobile app is available for iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android here: https://www.declansoftware.com/koreangrammar.html

IMPORTANT: The companion app is NOT free even if you purchased the book. To unlock all Topics requires an in-app purchase.

The book and mobile app are easy to coordinate using QR codes. Just scan the QR code at the beginning of any chapter in the book with the app and it will take you straight to the topic where you will find all the examples with the high-quality audio matching the chapter in the book.

So if you prefer to have the grammar set out in book form but would also like to be able to listen to the example sentences, then the book/app combination is perfect for you.
