My books finally arrived after much delay and headache (it was supposed to be all simple) and I was supposed to have ’em last week but let me not live in the ‘I was supposed to..” place in my head because I have them now and I am ecstatic haha I love them I didn’t even expect that they would look like that ~ paper quality, content etc. list is endless you’ll get all this in the reviews for them that I will write once I’m done with the books (:
Should be happy they came at the beginning of the month a little hmm! Then I have a new month and new books. New beginning of study hehe xD
Anyway, what did I get. I ordered 5 Korean textbooks its the most textbooks I’ve bought in one batch so this is essentially my first Korean book haul right ^^
I bought the Ehwa Korean books because they have been on my mind for a very long time, been wanting to try them and I didn’t know which level would be appropriate for me so I looked at the preview images and decided on level 2 last minute it was originally Level 3 I was going to buy but I’m glad I bought Level 2 because when I buy level 3 in a little while after I am done with Level 2 I will easily transition into the books seeing as I have used the previous level and know the way the books are laid out (:
I also bought Yonsei Reading 2 my goodness me!!!! Haha. I picked Level 2 because I thought it would be easier but still a little challenge boy was I right its still looks like a challenge I haven’t actually started using it yet all I did last night was take the CD out of the book place it on my desk and page through it a little bit nothing more, so when I start to use it I will see what its really like maybe my mind thinks its hard but it really isn’t. Anyway looking forward to using it.
I’ve already taken the Ewha Korean 2-1 book out for a little spin hehe done the first three grammars and practices and although they are simple and extremely easy I did learn one word in the first page lol hmm that makes me upset I should be studying harder 😀 but so far loving the book can’t stop (:
Also I finally got a taste of Bromide the Korean celeb magazine it was my first time seeing it, its so tiny hehe didn’t expect that but still loads of reading material in it and I can’t understand it so it means its useful to me (;
와! Great haul!
hehe thanks (: loving them so far too 😀
why do you always buy from Twochois? gmarket is cheaper : )
at first i thought the first one is the best but then i started ordering books from gmarket and very happy about it. books+ems delivery = like 10$ cheaper than plain delivery on Twochois
because I don’t live in Asia!!! If I lived in Asia then gmarket would be cheaper but for me where I live buying from twochois is like peanuts compared to gmarket and also I can’t use gmarket it uses a paypal system and my country isn’t allowed to use paypal >_< we have sanctions ;; but yeah you are right they are cheaper and I would use them if they could deliver to me, and if I could pay for them at all. T^T and my other store where I used to buy books had higher shipping than twochois so they were like a blessing to me hehe (: but thanks for suggesting it to me! ^^
well i don’t live in Asia too, but thankfully can order there. i thought they deliver to any country…! ehh 🙁
Where do you live?! ^^ you’re lucky they only use PayPal though dont they? And I tried way back they don’t deliver to southern Africa 🙂 the price is insane if they do via ems would cost be probably $100 for the shipping eek
russia. well ems is very expensive, but like i said before, for us here it’s way cheaper than airmail delivery from Twochois o__O weird, but this is it. so i thought it’s the same for u! didn’t know that gmarket doesn’t deliver to southern africa
Oh. I should try maybe they do now (: it would be nice to buy from gmarket once hehehe 🙂 yeah that is totally weird maybe it will be the same for me here ^^ I will try. Thanks :))
Great haul. I’ve been wanting Yonsei Reading for so long but it’s so pricey I keep stopping myself from buying. Is Ewha really different from Yonsei Korean? Thank you for answering my question about the tabloid the last time.
Thank you! Buy it hehe you will like it I’m sure it is pricey but its not too bad once you see the content. And its similar but not identical a lot of the content is easier to grasp than with Yonsei but its really just another University press book ^^ maybe as I pass the chapters my thoughts will change :DD but its a really good book and it has answer keys which is daebak so yeah it is different but not a whole lot xD and no problem.
