A Fun and Engaging way to Learn Korean
I found this audiobook to be very unique and interesting. It is such a fun way to dive into learning the language! The audiobook made the basics of Hangul, grammar, and pronunciation easy to follow, and I loved being able to connect it directly to my kids favorite songs. One highlight was understanding the lyrics of a song they love. I can’t wait to surprise them when I start singing the some AND understand it! it made me appreciate the music I didn’t get. If you’re a K-pop fan looking to learn Korean while enjoying the music, this audiobook is a must-listen!

Wow wow wow
Knowing zero Korean, I ventured to listen to this audiobook as the K-Pop idea appealed to me. It is not like learning some key phrases to be a tourist there. It starts with the absolute basics in terms of letters and pronunciation and actually teaches sentence construction. This book makes learning so much fun by tying in the K-pop aspect. Loved it.

So Fun
Such a fun way to learn Hangul. I found myself bopping to the rhythm! Listeners not only gain the tools to understand song lyrics, but also develop a confidence to sing along and immerse themselves in the Korean culture. I'm going to listen to it again and really solidify the language. Plus it's fun! All languages should have a teaching method like this to apply to their other lessons.

The MAGIC of K-POP
I’ve always been fascinated by the captivating performances, lyrics, and culture surrounding my favorite idols. But thanks to this book, my appreciation has gone from surface-level obsession to a deeper connection with the Korean culture and language.
I feel like this book was written just for me, a fan who dreams of understanding the lyrics of BTS, EXO, or BLACKPINK without needing translations, understanding those jokes on variety shows, and feeling confident singing along.
The grammar basics and vocabulary tables are well organized, making what could be an overwhelming process manageable and exciting.
My favorite part of this book is how it combines language learning with cultural appreciation. The cultural insights helped me better understand why some expressions are used and gave me a better understanding of the traditions and values that shape K-pop.
