(or, How Important Is This Grammar Point to Me?)
All the information in the section “The Basics of Korean” is material you should know before reading the rest of this book. Material in the appendixes is stuff I think might be useful for you to know, but you don’t have to study it if you’d rather not. Beyond that, I’ve rated everything in the main part of the book according to a star system, which works like this:
| ★★★★★ | Critical; with only the five-star expressions, you can communicate almost everything you need to say, and without them you’ll have trouble understanding any more than the most basic of sentences. |
| ★★★★ | Very helpful; you should learn this if you want to communicate well in Korean |
| ★★★ | Useful, fairly common, and will help you sound more natural and fluent |
| ★★ | Not that important; grammar only the TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean) people care about |
| ★ | Don’t worry about this unless there’s some reason you need to know it |
Expressions are also rated according to whether or not they’re used more in speaking or in writing.
| The expression is: | |
| Speaking > Writing | used more often in speaking than in writing |
| Speaking < Writing | used more often in writing than in speaking |
| Speaking = Writing | used as often in writing as in speaking |
| Speaking | used only in speaking |
| Writing | used only in writing |
