What learning Korean book for foreigner do
It forces to learn formal language without proper explanation in each case.
We don't have formal part in learning books for Korean kids. We learn it in the living and using formal/informal language is very different in each case.
I think this is a big problem to people who are learning Korean. They should don't force to learn formal language without proper explanation
Damn books!
