Reviews

"A funny phrase book. The difference of this one from the other phrase books out there is that it focuses on slangs - specifically relationships/romance slangs." --Mykoreancorner.wordpress.com blog
"Making Out in Korean -- Funny book title there huh What can you learn from here A bunch of funny phrases, curses and umm yeah." --Lyrynne.wordpress.com blog
"One of the things that I most like about the books is that they include the English translations of the phrases as well as the sentences and words in the writing system of the language alongside the transliteration. This is great both for those who are interested in a more conversational approach and for those interested in more in-depth learning." --Eurolinguiste
