I know in one of my books (not Korean), but Japanese. Over time, they start removing the
romaji after you know the characters.

Isn´t this known to be the worst Assimil course ever?

Actually, according to this survey:

Assimil course Rankings

It ranked an average of 7.5 out of 10. That was one of the better Assimil courses in the survey!

I got to be honest with you, i dont like the way that survey was made. It has a lot of
languages which assimil only publishes the "on the road" version (not a real course)
and it doesnt have the different versions of some languages, German has 5 diferent
courses!! (L'allemand sans peine, Le nouvel Allemand sans peine, L'Allemand, La
pratique de L'allemand and Perfectionnement Allemand). anyway, I guess that´s for
anoter post :) .

And you forgot the new "perfectionnement allemand", 2012.

I'm on a french speaking forum for Korean, they all agree the Phd who wrote it was nice and one of the few experts on Korea in France, but... this method is very bad. Maybe if you remove all the romanization, it can help.

But then even the explanations use romanizations, really confusing, not helping at all.

I'm still not following. I agree that it takes up a lot of
room on the page, but
how else would you learn Hangul?
You'd have to be constantly flipping back and forth to the alphabet part at the front
of
the book... Why 20 yrs
ago but not today?


Because today, all Assimil books come with audio files. Learning Hangul should be the
first step in your learning plan and there is absolutely not necessary to use
romanization.

For example :

I'm curious why you believe it would be best to learn the alphabet first before
anything else. Just looking over some of the FSI programs with languages in different
alphabets, they advocate that a program begin with Romanization and then start actively
teaching the new alphabet after at least the first 10 lessons.
