Storyline
A North Korean spy and a former South Korean agent form a tense partnership.

Teach Yourself Korean is a great book if you want to learn more than just "tourist phrases." The introduction with Han-Geul was clear and easy to understand. If your first language is English, the grammar and pronunciation rules will seem strange and hard to remember at first, but this is true for most Asian languages. Since Korean is not a tonal language, such as Chinese or Vietnamese, your learning will not be hindered by worries about "singing" the words. Each section includes an introduction listing the aspects of the Korean language you will learn. The dialogues in each section aren't dry either. They contain many colloquial Korean phrases and expressions that are explained later in the chapter.

Korean War in Color documents war-torn Korea the way the soldiers saw it-in full, shocking color. This digitally mastered DVD presents a true picture of war-full of terror, chaos, blood and courage. Many of the images included here have never been seen by the general public before, having been kept top secret for decades by military officials for fear of a public backlash.

Mysterious and sometimes terrifying, North Korea is perhaps the most secretive country on earth. Kim Jong Il rules as a dictator. He controls the world's fifth largest army and plutonium for nuclear weapons. From the most militarised border on the planet to the actions of the man known as "Dear Leader", it's a world built on absolute conformity, full of government minders and unimaginable horrors that drive people to risk their lives in daring escapes. Now, for the first time, National Geographic Channel penetrates North Korea with a medical team on a mission to help the blind see, and captures the real story of life inside the reclusive country.
