This link has a guide with survival tasks and links to audio file podcasts. These podcasts are not traditional. They are bite-sized files of language in chunks. Use them to create your own playlists. Play, listen, repeat, and learn. Once you have enough of these chunks, you’ll start making your own sentences with what you’ve learned.
Get your downloadable files here.
What is powerful about this is that it presents language in meaningful chunks–words and phrases designed to get you communicating right away.
Phrasebooks are powerful because they focus completely on communication. They don’t get into the grammar. If they do, it’s not much. They just get into telling you what you need to be able to communicate with people. Yo can make your own based on any topic if you have a notebook. Get your Korean for Travel and Beginners Phrasebook.
