Most languages books are in English. For Korean language books, you also get Chinese and Japanese due to the popularity of Korean in those countries, and even in Russian due to popularity of Korean in Russia. But seldom you see other languages like French and Spanish, but this series has all of those languages. The Spanish in this book, First Step in Korean for Spanish (ISBN: 89-387-011-9) is a bit formalized, like book Spanish, but it is still useful to see the Spanish to Korean connection, especially in order to get a deeper meaning to the words and their usage. Many English words can be vague or ambiguous, at least with most Korean-English dictionaries.
I like the overall organization of the book, it is well put together, and is a great initial overview of the Korean language, and great for conversation.
