About this title

Synopsis

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. Along with refreshingly clear English definitions, the entries are packed with helpful extra details that make learning easier: 5,600+ example sentences given in Hangeul, romanization, and English; explanations of common idiomatic expressions; and special notes to clarify differences and distinctions that can be challenging for English speakers. This dictionary presents, with care and expertise, all the words that are most essential for learners to know. * English-Korean Word Finder allows two-directional use. * Romanization is included for all terms and examples, to assist learners. * Extensive notes on grammar and meaning enhance understanding and ensure correct usage. * Especially high-frequency words are marked. * Endings and particles--very important components of Korean, but often overlooked in reference materials--are clearly indicated and explained.
