Outside in Korea

Just as there are a lot of terrible ESL books out there, there are also a lot of egregiously bad textbooks designed for foreign learners of Korean. In fact, I've rarely seen such badly organized and poorly thought out language texts as some of the ones I've tried to use to improve my Korean. It's an insight perhaps, into the quality of language education in primary and secondary schools, if the Korean-made textbooks used to teach English and other languages are as poorly put together. Help is at hand if you're a self-directed student of Korean, though.
