It's amazing how 100 key words and phrases provide instant communication! Do you want to speak simple Korean but are too busy to study it? Are you visiting Korea for a short time and need a Korean phrasebook to help you communicate? If so, this Korean phrasebook is for you.

The idea of Instant Korean is simpleβ€”learn 100 words and phrases and say 1,000 things. The trick is knowing which 100 words to learn, but the author Boye Lafayette De Mente has solved this problem by choosing only those words you'll hear again and again.
