ozzy: Truly no complains. Book has stories from shorter to longer ones, translations, questions and vocabulary. Might not be entirely useful in day to day but great for improving reading, understanding and learning more vocabulary and writing style.

Amazon Kunde: Habe das Buch als eBook gekauft und das ist nun meine erste Kurzgeschichtensammlung, die ich bei meinem Anfängerniveau wirklich lesen und 90% verstehen kann. Zu mir, habe bisher (mit Anki) etwas über 500 Vokabeln gelernt und Grammatik mit TTMIK bis Level 3 plus ein paar wenige weitere Materialien (fange gerade intensiver mit Büchern an). Hatte andere Kurzgeschichtensammlungen als eBooks gekauft, die waren aber für mich zu schwer ("Korean Short Stories for Beginners" von LingoMastery und das Olly Richards Buch), die werde ich dann machen sobald ich weiter bin, das hier ist aber ein guter Einstieg ins Koreanisch lesen.
Viele der typischen Märchenvokabeln wiederholen sich zwischen den Märchen, sodass man mit der Zeit immer mehr versteht, z.B. kommeneso Wörter wie Tiger, Wald und Dorf echt oft vor.
Auch wenn es "Kindermärchen" sind fand ich sie nicht langweilig, meine koreanische Freundin hat sie gerne als Gutenachtgeschichten gehört.
Die Geschichten sind echte Märchen und daher vom Alltag entfernt, moderne Alltagsvokabeln lernt man hier weniger.
Das Höflichkeitniveau ist meistens die höfliche formelle Sprache (bis auf die Stellen mit...

Lore Caballero: Es muy buen libro para aprender no solo el idioma, sino también cosas nuevas sobre la cultura. Originalmente lo adquirí para practicar mi comprensión escrita, pero tiene muchos usos más. Me ha ayudado a aprender mucho vocabulario, es didáctico, y puedes añadirlo a tu rutina de estudio de la manera que más te plazca.

Lingo StarLingo Star: The media could not be loaded. The stories in this Korean-English parallel text anthology of Korean folk tales range from very short (only a paragraph) to a few pages. It has a good glossary and index for language learners. Some of the stories have their origin in traditional folktales while others seem to be just silly short anecdotes. It introduces the reader to an aspect of Korean folktales and the virtues and values that they present. It's entertaining and accessible for a learner of Korean who can commit just a little time to read and study the translations.

Chiara: Studio coreano da un paio di anni ma non avevo mai comprato un libro di letture come questo. Sono contenta però di averlo fatto! Le storie sono tutte riguardanti le leggende tradizionali della Corea, cosa che aiuta tantissimo a scoprire un lato più tradizionale del paese che non sempre viene presentato nei libri di grammatica o nei corsi di lingua. Le storie vanno dalle più semplici all'inizio del libro, scritte con una grammatica e un vocabolario estremamente semplice ed essenziale rivolte a chi è alle primissime armi, per poi diventare via via più lunghe e complesse, cosa che ho apprezzato tantissimo. Altra cosa che mi piace di questo testo è che ogni storia è accompagnata da esercizi di comprensione del testo e prompt per esercizi di writing o di speaking. Cosa ancora più bella per chi si sta avvicinando alla lingua per la primissima volta, alla fine del libro ci sono tutta una serie di esercizi sull'alfabeto coreano, sulla scrittura e sulla lettura, oltre che un vocabolario comprendente termini prese dalle singole storie.
Davvero un prodotto eccezionale adatto a tutti i livelli!

Zack Parsons: I would highly recommend this book for the mid- to upper-level beginning Korean learner, especially if you are looking to reach the intermediate level. This book is definitely not for the absolute beginner, at least not without other resources to get you started. While I think that this book is truly unique and invaluable, there are some flaws, too.
Pros:
This is book is by far the best resource I have found for helping me move up from the beginner level, and finally reach the intermediate level in Korean. I find that the textbooks I had been using were getting to bogged down in the details (which is good for formal learning), and the practice reading activities are typically so boring and rigid. However, this book is a game changer. The stories are very interesting and they gradually build in difficulty and I never felt like I hit a brick wall. Every story has a English translation, comprehension questions, and an essential list of vocabulary. I recommend skimming the pre-reading questions and vocabulary before each story to help smooth things out.
The inclusion of audio recordings for each story is a true bonus. The speaker speaks at a good pace and has clear...

John Daily: This is such a terrific book, and I hope Tuttle publishes another, more advanced one to make this a series. The stories are excellent, and each one builds off of vocabulary learned in previous stories. This allows for familiarity through repetition without it feeling rote and mindless. The font is clean and although it is a bit small for older eyes, the bright white pages and crisp, clean text provide enough contrast that the characters are easy to read. The comprehension questions start off mostly in English (and are easy), and become progressively more difficult as the lessons progress. Lessons 3 through 28 offer the question in both English and Hangul, and from lesson 29 on they are written only in Hangul. Pre-reading questions and Writing activities are included in most lessons. That said, if you are not using this book in tandem with a language tutor, you'll need to use this as a supplement to other resources, as there are a couple of things missing.
First, careful students will notice similar phrases repeated at the end of most sentences (such as 입니다). There is nothing in the book that discusses what they are or what the translation is; it is left up to the...
