Very useful beautiful book. This book is really well done. The content is great because each slang expression comes with explanations and example so you can use it later in the proper context. The quality of the book itself is very good.

Great book! I am a beginner and was a little intimidated when buying this book. However, the phrases are explained well, and the slang is fun and relevant. I am able to use many of these expressions with confidence:)

Awesome book! The layout is simple, great contents that you can really put in real life situations and the book is easy to follow and with the examples given you can really get the sense on when/how to use the slang. My Korean friends were shocked when I’ve tried using one of the slangs learnt from the book lol

Learn Korean slang expressions that are used on a daily basis in South Korea. You can understand a lot more of the conversations you hear in Korean by understanding commonly used slang expressions.
I have been having soooo much fun with this book! My Korean friends are literally amazed when I use an expression that I read here. They are like “but how do you even know that”? Even older Koreans would not know some of these, it is super up-to-date and fun, very very useful! I use some of these expressions on the daily and really this book is serving me very well. Totally worths the money, I would 100% buy again.
The things you don’t learn in grammar books… the slang you need to know when speaking with native speakers. Thank you for writing such a well thought out book… very practical!
This book is really useful to learn some slang expressions. You have 60 expressions shelled, translated with the etymology and full explanation.
You have sample sentences, and contexts where to use thoses expressions. You’ll also find the origins of the words, didn’t know that 알바 was from the german word “Arbeit”! That’s awesome you learn a lot of things! The illustrations are funny and pleasant. I’m a big fan of TTMIK books, so my judgment is biased, haha! I’m completely in love with the concept.
