TTMIK Level 5 Korean Grammar Textbook

Develop Your Communication Skills by Building Longer Sentences and Learning More about Korean Culture!

With this grammar textbook, the 5th in the Talk To Me In Korean series, you will take your Korean to an even higher level. You will learn more conjunctions with which you will form longer, yet much more structured, sentences. You may also learn some new vocabulary and cultural insights! The content of this book is incredibly important, but it is up to YOU to put it into practice! At this level, you can already say so many things in Korean, so it is vital to the learning process to seek out and take advantage of opportunities to practice; whether it be through speaking with a friend, practicing with an online tutor, posting in Korean on social media, or even just writing your thoughts in a journal.
