Short Stories in Korean for Intermediate Learners by Olly Richards

fast-paced

0.0

this is not an intermediate level book! rather a beginner level, but even then, i would not recommend it to anybody.
it is written in the present tense, ie 아/어/여요, and obviously just a translation from another language. 
no culture is incorporated, as even in the stories set in korea, you could've put the story in any other country and it would not have made a difference. 
the stories are not realistic nor particularly interesting and the words they've chosen to highlight seemingly a little random...

though, if you want to simply up the speed of your reading go on! it's just not very well suited for language learning.
