Customer Reviews

Pretty good for the price
I bought this book because that my Korean teacher said that I needed to buy a dictionary for the class, but did not specify what kind to purchase.
I can say that this has been helpful in situations outside of the class room, but is not really useful when trying to figure out the English translation of the Korean writing.

Useful when:
Trying to write in Korean, using Hangul.
Translating an English word into Hangul.
Figuring out the English meaning from spoken Korean.

Not useful when:
Trying to translate written Korean.
Figuring out phrases.
Looking for the English-lettering (romanization) of a Korean word.

In the end, I suggest a Korean-English dictionary written for and by Koreans. You can find these at some Asian markets and bookstores, they are also only about $5-10 more.

Love this dictionary!
We are both learning beginner's Korean, and find this dictionary an excellent resource. It's clear - yes you can read the characters - and the price was considerably cheaper than we could buy in Australia, even allowing for postage. Having the Korean-English section in romanization is also helpful, when you may not know the dictionary order of Korean characters.

My sister likes it!
Hey, Im not tryin to learn Korean, but my sister is and she hasn't complained....IT must be good.
