I haven't looked too much into this new course yet, but I will get this when I go at Korean. Here
If you want reviews on it just go to amazon and type in the name of the course. Hope that somewhat helps.

I'm working my way through Pimsleur's Comprehensive Korean I course (30 half hour audio lessons plus reading practice) and, so far, I really like it. Except for the 1 reading practice CD plus booklet it's audio-only, though, so I'll need to complement it with some reading/writing practice from another source. That said, I find myself really liking the method of just concentrating on comprehension and speaking first then worrying about adding the reading/writing portion in later (which is very different from how I learned Spanish). Since the lessons are 30 minutes long and my commute is 35 minutes, I just start a lesson when I leave in the morning and I'm done a few minutes before I get to work.

Lilah, may I ask what kind of Korean course you are specifically looking for?
There are plenty to choose from on Amazon.

I use Koreanclass101.com as well as a few others. Sogang University has a great online series. Both give a good range of phrases and vocabulary and don't strictly stay with the ch'ondaemal/촌대말 (입니까? 입니다.)

www.hollym.com is a publisher of all things Korean, including a relatively large selection of language materials, many of which come with accompanying audio.
www.cheng-tsui.com is another place you might look. If you can't find what you want, email them. I did and they were very helpful.

Hello evryone! Thanks for posting, you were really helpful. I'm getting your course, Warp3. Thanks delta910! I was looking for a book so this one will be very helpful! Chris, I'll see Amazon then and thanks for the sites too.
I almost can't find books in Korean and about Korean language where I live, though It's just two hours from the biggest city in Brazil and there are a lot of koreans there. But I usually don't go there. So I thank you for your help.
Kamsa hamnida!
