Books, Auditory or Techie methods of learning Korean

 Books (Intro Level): 

1. Korean in a Hurry, by Samuel E.Martin, Charles E. Tuttle Company   : Now this title alone should give you the first clue about Korea's national motto:Ppalli Ppalli ( aka Hurry Hurry). Even if you never read the book, you will at least remember that Koreans like to do things in a hurry. 
2. Making Out in Korean, by Peter Constantine : At first glance I thought it was a love guru book but as it turns out it's a fun filled beginner's book for speaking in Korean.
3. Korean in Plain English, by Boye De Mente: Not a catchy title but still delivers.
