Korean grammar, explained in the order Korean needs it
Most courses teach you English sentences in Korean. This one starts from how Korean works and builds up, one idea at a time, with audio on every example and exercises where they help.

How this guide works
Each lesson starts with its vocabulary, explains one idea in a few plain sentences, puts the rule in a box, and then shows it in numbered examples. One colour marks the grammar point, in the Korean and in the English, so you can see what lines up. The English is literal at first, because that shows how the Korean is really built.
