Tuttle Learner's Korean-English Dictionary: The Essential Student Reference

Description

Finally, here is the dictionary that learners have been waiting for: one that specifically answers the needs of English-speakers who are studying Korean. Designed specifically for learners who are at elementary to intermediate level, it contains over 16,800 vocabulary items, including the most essential contemporary words, commonly used example phrases, and business and technical terms. There are over 11,000 headwords included (both Korean and English), and over 5,600 example sentences-one for every Korean headword.

Kyubyong Park worked at an educational publishing company focusing on practice books for Koreans learning English, giving him an expertise in the different learning techniques for these two languages. Park is the author of 500 Basic Korean Verbs and the co-author of Korean for Beginners. He lives in Seoul.

"A great feature of this dictionary is the appendix of commonly used hanja (Chinese characters) in Korean. If you know some Chinese or Japanese, this is an excellent way to identify loan words in Korean you can more easily remember by associating them with the original character." --Goodreads
