(English) The Korean Grammer for Foreigners 1
Interest in Korean as a foreign language is increasing. But there are hardly any Korean language grammar books for foreigners. Until recently, most Korean grammar books were for middle and high school students in Korea. These grammar books are not approriate for foreigers because they are designed for those who speak Korean as their mother tongue and focuses on teaching grammar rules. But foreigners need a grammar book that can help to produce grammatical Korean sentences.
School grammar is analysis-oriented. But grammar for foreigners is integration-oriented. Unlike native speakers, who have intuiton to mother tongue, it is difficult for foreign learners to tell a grammatical sentence from an ungrammatical one. Foreigners need more detailed explanations. As such, grammar teaching should be about teaching how to form a correct sentence. In other words, a grammar book should explain what grammatical elements are needed in order to form a grammatical sentence.
This book is a Korean language standard grammar dictionary published by the National Institute of Korean Language through 5-years of research of Korean language experts.
This book explains the Korean language's unique characteristics from the perspective of universality and contrastive linguistics. And to improve the foreigner's understanding, Korean grammar is explained with a different perspective than existing ones.
In Grammar for Foreigners 1: Structure, grammar foreigners must know when communicating in Korean is explained using simple language. It compares Korean language and other ones and describes how to use Korean words in a real-life situation.
