Q:I'm in really deep need for some textbooks do I can learn korean and I'm not sure which would be the most useful, so if it's not a bother may you please recommend some?

No worries~ ^^
These are the two textbooks I have reviewed in the past, both of which are amazing.


Also recommended is the “한국어 회화” series from 고려대학교, however I randomly picked this one up at a bookshop and haven’t been able to find any copies online to buy.


I also picked up a text from the Yonsei Korean series while I was in Seoul, I haven’t used it yet but have heard good things about them. 

Hopefully that pushes you in the right direction.. ^^ Check out my online resources list as well :)
