Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Korean Grammar in Use has exercises. It’s all I use and I think it’s great.
  • Between that and reviewing on or two chapters of Korean Grammar in Use a day it’s crazy how fast you can level up
  • I have been doing a couple grammar points a day from this book and it has significantly increased my ability to understand random Korean stuff.
  • Lots of options for grammar-- ... Korean Grammar in Use (books).
  • I wonder if the book Korean Grammar in Use might work well for you. It's more of a reference than a curriculum but good for looking things up.

Cons

  • I really like Korean Grammar in Use but the exercises are a bit anemic so it seems like it wouldn’t solve your issue.
  • I like Korean Grammar in Use as a reference, but I think I’m kinda stuck in a “textbook” mindset... it’s not presented in a logical(?) “learn these grammar points in this order” sort of way like a textbook.
  • korean grammar in use (a bit more difficult but very helpful and a lot of info. you have to make sure you know everything though cause you only get like one or two exercises per lesson)
  • Many grammar explanations out there are so dense and confusing (see: Howtostudykorean.com or the book Korean Grammar in Use). Learners see this and think they have to memorize and get everything in their head, which is not true.
  • Another suggestion is Korean Grammar In Use, a textbook with all the grammar you need for TOPIK 2 (and it's already a lot) but it's lacking some exercises, you should combine it with workbooks.

I also love the Korean Grammar In Use series, but i think it's a lot more useful as a reference/review for whatever you learned using another source.

I also personally like the Korean grammar in use books, but those might be hard to get if you don’t live in Korea.

I've used this book in unison with youtube and have self taught to a 4급 TOPIK score. I really think it can't be used alone since it is really condensed but it's a good way to help you identify what grammar patterns you should be learning
