This 8 CD set accompanied me daily for six weeks while driving and, despite its optimistic view that the listener would learn in one or two listenings, I only managed to get through 2 of the CDs with any sense of retention and accomplishment. I’ve learned from a Korean that this program presents a very formal version of the Korean language. The lessons are structured well, allowing time to orally repeat after the male and female speakers (the male spoke very quickly and was more difficult to understand). Lots of repletion spaced over time helped. To really learn well I think I’d have to apply myself an hour per day for a number of months. I’d certainly recommend this set as a starting point.
