Spoken World: Korean- one hour intro course

Spoken World: Korean- one hour intro course by Living Language

I had trouble finding any link to this specific one. Even the image of the file from the library shows the 6 disc "complete" course. This one, however, is a 1 hour "short intro". It goes through some quick phrases with chances to repeat. However, it moves at a fairly fast pace, making it hard to really grasp. It does go over a number of key phrases, so maybe a few time going through it would help. It also spends time pitching the "full course" if you really want to learn Korean. At least it is honest in what it provides.

In-Flight Korean: Learn Before You Land by Living Language

This is a quick 1 hour course designed to give you some "basics" before going to Korea. It jumps right into some useful phrases. I listened at 1x speed, but still had trouble keeping up. There is a printed section that goes with it that does not seem to be included. I got a little lost when it started jumping to numbers in Chinese - but that didn't quite sound right. Only later was it clear that these are two different flavors of numbers in Korean that are used for different purposes.
