Теорія неймовірно допоміжна, а от вправи не дуже

[Rome · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is very informational.
There were some points to which I didn't completely agree but nevertheless it was very on-point with regards to all the discussion that were done.
The exercises were interesting - most of it were quite hard for me due to my level not being very appropriate for the exercises.
I guess it would be helpful if the exercises had different difficulties so it wouldn't be too much for readers who are still in the beginner or intermediate level of Korean proficiency.
