Hi, I started learning Korean with TTMIK and many comments on here suggested using an additional resource for vocabulary. I really like to learn vocabulary with some context instead of just memorizing words from a list without any example sentences, so I figured I'd get one of their vocab books. I found the two books mentioned in the title on their website, both seem to be intended for beginners. There is probably some overlap in the words they teach, so I don't want to waste money buying both. Which one would you recommend I get? Thanks in advance for any comment!
All courses emphasize development of oral proficiency through weekly conversation practice sessions. Conversation sessions focus on using the language in the types of situations one might encounter in everyday life. Students commonly engage in role plays, question and answer activities, description, narration, and problem-solving exercises. More advanced students practice expressing opinions, giving reasons in arguments, and discussing current events and cultural issues.
A standard course through the Center is a half course. Half courses require one hour a day (seven hours per week) of individual study plus weekly conversation and/or tutorial sessions. It takes four half courses (levels I, II, III, and IV) to complete the equivalent of one year of study in a traditional elementary-level classroom course. Some languages offered in the Mentored format are also available as full courses allowing students to progress at the same rate as in traditional classroom courses. Full courses require two hours per day (14 hours per week) of individual study plus conversation and tutorial sessions.
