Korean Grammar in Use
The standard three-volume Korean grammar reference: Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced.
What it actually is
Darakwon's series is the book almost every serious learner and Korean teacher ends up owning, organised grammar point by grammar point with real dialogues, illustrations and — crucially — side-by-side comparisons of patterns that mean almost the same thing. The Advanced volume covers everything on the TOPIK level 5–6 syllabus. It is a reference and workbook, not a course: there is no story, no listening programme, and you need something else to supply vocabulary and speaking practice.
