Interesting, Engaging, and Accessible First Book

This was my first full-length book in Korean. Despite this fact, I found it quite approachable, not only in terms of language but also in terms of content. For those who enjoy topics like language learning and habit building, this book has great, actionable tips on building language learning habits. While it's geared towards people learning English, the information is easily applicable to other target languages.

In addition, the book uses lots of repeated vocabulary, such as 활동하다 and 향상하다, that is easy to pick up since it comes up so many times. I read this book in Kimchi Reader, and being able to mark words as seen or known was really helpful because it made it easier to know what I did/didn't know. The grammar is also not very complex, and because it's nonfiction, there are fewer adjectives than a fiction book.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this book to beginner Korean learners looking to break into native content. It's interesting, engaging, and accessible. 5 stars.
