Textbooks teach you how to order coffee. Proverbs teach you how Koreans think. Koreans use these sayings every day, at home, at work, in conversations with friends, and all through K-dramas. Know them, and the language starts to sound natural. Use them, and you start to sound natural too.
Written by a Korean-born language teacher with years of experience teaching Korean abroad, Korean Proverbs and Short Stories turns each saying into a story you will remember and a skill you can use.
Discover the stories behind the language:
• A bear and a tiger in a cave, a bundle of mugwort and garlic, and a hundred days of waiting: the myth of Dangun and the founding of Korea some five thousand years ago
• A people who treasured books so much that they carved more than 80,000 wooden printing blocks and printed with metal movable type, producing the oldest surviving metal-type book, the Jikji, 78 years before the Gutenberg Bible
• A king who saw that ordinary people could not write down what they wanted to say, and created a new alphabet for them: hangul
• Proverbs born in rice fields, markets, and kitchens, passed from mouth to mouth for centuries, and full of tigers, oxen, frogs, and rice cakes
In each of the 60 chapters, you will:
• Read the proverb in Korean with a literal English translation
• Learn what it really means and when Koreans use it
• Enjoy an original short story that makes the expression stick
• Discover the cultural image behind the words
• Study key Korean vocabulary and grammar, explained in plain English
• Practice with a short Korean dialogue and its English translation
• Check your progress with four exercises and a speaking activity
• Compare it with similar English proverbs, and see where they differ
Perfect for:
• Self-study learners who can read hangul and want to sound more natural
• K-drama and K-pop fans who want to understand the expressions behind the dialogue
• Korean teachers looking for ready-to-use classroom material
• History and culture lovers curious about how Koreans see the world
Organized into 12 themes, with an answer key for every exercise and a list of free online resources for further study. Study anywhere, anytime: no audio, app, or subscription needed.
Open the first page and step into five thousand years of Korean words and wisdom.
