Summary: Migraine Headache at No Extra Charge
Review: If you enjoy a thumping, skull splitting migraine headache, then the Sing N Learn series is for you.

As a longtime language instructor, I agree with the effort that this series makes, but it is the execution that ultimately weakens Sing N Learn series. To be sure, there are much, much better ways to learn a foreign language. In fact, I would recommend this title only as a last resort and after you've thoroughly exhausted traditional ways to learn Korean.

The songs contained herein are renditions of popular Korean folk songs. WARNING: Most of the words sung throughout are inaudible. While the accompanying workbook aids in comprehension, it isn't enough to get you through the annoying vocals of the entire Sing N Learn series.

Indeed, most of the songs contain ear-drum splitting vocals accompanied by low fidelity musical arrangements making listening to the songs almost unbearable. (My students asked me to turn it off after one song). Overall, the musical and vocal quality is definitely poor and grating at best. I will bet an entire year's paycheck that my dog can howl better than the vocals on this tape. Do yourself a favor: try something, anything else other than this series to learn a foreign language. "*"

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good intro for kids
Review: My child just loves this professionally done book with CD. He is just starting to learn his Korean, and loves the songs. A great way to introduce the language to children.
