This book is really amazing

Love LingoMastery. Their books are easy to understand. This book has vocabulary with phrases for beginners.

It's a dictionary but what's useful - it's the high frequency words. Can be handy. One thing that I absolutely detest - the horrid "romanisation". Here - in bold! With/ As if you had two options, as if you were learning two languages / korean and... What? So if I choose to learn just the jinhaengdoeda I'll be alright?! I'll manage in Korea?! The pure stupidity of this approach never stops driving me up the wall. Here's a crazy idea - maybe someone who's going to learn 2000 words knows the letter's of alphabet?..... As I recall any lesson of reading /writing around the world STARTS WITH THE ALPHABET (unless it's Chinese 😉) If someone's brain capacity can't hold 24 letters I doubt it will 2000 words... 🙄 STOP TEACHING WRONG it's atrocious Highly irritating Offending learner's intelligence If I learnt English like that I'd be freely communicating with the world like this: Aj hejt de imbezyl hu kejm łif dis aidia. Mai inglisz is perfekt, iznt it? Wets łot ju idjoc ticz

Frequency dictionaries are some of the most powerful tools in a language learner's toolkit. This one is a WAY BETTER resource than the free Topic frequency lists you can find on the internet. I'm pretty sure those lists are compiled based exclusively on news articles or other scholarly sources, so they include some advanced / formal words that would be awkward to use in everyday speech. This dictionary states that it was compiled using a mix of dialogue from movies, news articles, and other sources, so it's more balanced. One issue I'm finding is that many of the most common words (especially the ones appearing in the first 1/4 of the book) are common because they are used as part of Korean grammar. For example, 대하다 means "to treat," but it's used a lot in Korean because it can also mean "to pertain to something." E.g., I think about my friend is "나는 내 친구에 대해 생각하다." The book will NOT indicate to you that a word is popular because it serves some grammatical usage, so you will need to do your own research to figure it out. This is my only gripe. Overall, still giving it 5 stars because frequency dictionaries are very difficult to compile, and this one appears to have picked its words well, and has provided some good example sentences which use the words. If the author plans to do an updated version, I definitely recommend some sort of flag or indicator to show that a word serves some grammatical purpose.
