Where do you get all these books? All I can really find are like the Teach Yourself series.
I speak 4 languages (English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese), and I must say that I cannot wait until I develop my German more. This series looks excellent! Where did you buy those books, and for about how much do you suppose they would be nowadays? Any info appreciated, Thank you.
I think I might brush up my German a bit and try out that Icelandic book, do you know where I would be able to purchase it?
Their webs site is Buske(dot)de. If you click the “fremde sprachen” link, you will get a page with an alphabetical list of all the languages they offer. Just click on a language to see all the books for that language. They don’t offer the Korean book the professor pointed out, but you may find it on E-bay.
Professor, as a result of your recommendation of Wilfried Hermann’s Korean book, I have been searching for weeks trying to locate a copy, but like a number of people whose comments I have read, it seems impossible to find now. I would like to ask whether you consider this book to really be the be-all-end-all method for learning Korean, or would other manuals such as Francis Y. T. Park’s “Speaking Korean” do just as good a job? I would greatly appreciate any help with this!
Park’s books are good, as are others, but Hermann’s stands alone in a class by itself if you have the kind of mind that can profit from logical and systematic organization and explanations.
