    It is not perfect, but it's still very useful.
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 3, 2014*

It is not perfect, but it's still very useful.If your Chinese is more competent than mine, I'd advice you to visit amazon china. They have another more comprehensive book that covers about 6000-7000 words. It says 10,000 but don't believe it. It gives the chinese translation and one example sentence. It includes native korean root words as well as sino-korean root words. It lists the words in alphabetical order, like this book. But unlike this book, they have additional 200 over pages to help you categorise similar words for memory based on topic. So far, I think none of the entries are replicated. It's about 5 dollars? Or 30 yuan, something like that. Which means it'd prolly still be cheaper than this even with shipping. http://www.amazon.cn/gp/product/B006DW2JLM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1The pros and cons of this English book is listed below. It is the exact opposite of the Chinese book. Everything that this English book tries to do (the pros) the Chinese book doesn't. And everything that the English book doesn't do (the cons) the Chinese book does.The pros:- Gives a very detailed explanation on how they wrote this book so that you would know how to fit it into your learning.- Indicates inherent tense with a dot.- It includes an asterisk for words that can attach 하다 onto them to make it a verb.- It's aim is to help beginner and intermediate students. Advanced students would probably benefit from learning the Chinese characters though.The cons:- It's not consistent in it's use of the asterisk. I think it's because it tries not to include verbs that would be translated to phrases like "to run a restaurant" because you can't say "restauranting". Which they already said in the "how to use this book section". For example miscalculation, 오산, is listed with an asterisk in the 산 list, but without the asterisk in the 오 list. They should just include the asterisk for all nouns that can be turned into verbs.- It's safe to say that there will be many double entries. There are probably 10,000 to 12,000 entries in this book. But they include double entries which can be "uneconomical" to put it in the author's words.- They do not explain grammar particles to you or transformative thingys.- They do not include opaque words. Which refers to words whose root words may not inform the meaning of the word directly or at least semi-directly.- They do not include root word lists that have less than 3 entries. A lot of native Korean root words are like that so their native Korean list collection is a lot shorter than the Sino-Korean list.- The book saves space by not including example sentences. Honestly, you need to contextualise Korean words in order to use it well. One or two example sentences is not enough. dic.naver will provide many example sentences so you need to use either that or supplement it with textbooks or better still, go to Korea and experience the "context" yourself.

    Love it, wish they'd spent a little more on the printing.
  

*by H***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 13, 2011*

The font seems oversaturated / hard to explain that -uh..... the book is overwhelming - SO many words!!!But it does it's job in helping me related WHY wordsare put together the way they are / the meaning ofthe parts of the words... wish it came with a"copy for your computer" DVD < no deal. That would makeit instantly searchable. In my dreams.  You need toknow what alphabetical order is in Korean to search thebook for the right english word, but it was never intendedto be a dictionary in that sense.  It's a reference bookthat reads likecowboyfarmboytomboy <<<<< but in Korean / so you see you can tell that"boy" is the rootword that the other Korean words are based on.In this, it is what it is.  How to study it?  No idea yet.

    Excellent, must know or learn how to pronounce Hangul
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 5, 2018*

Learning a new language takes lot's of dedication  and work if you want to truly speak the language and not just regurgitate words and phrases.  This book is for those who desire to expand their vocabulary. It is extensive and will not be beneficial unless you first learn to pronounce the Korean alphabet properly.  Proper Pronunciation is the foundation to learning a new language. Grammar is the glue that ties it all together. Think of how  a child learns to speak their native language. They don't begin with grammar, they learn first to pronounce individual words and phrases. We as parents or adults only understand those words NOT because of the proper use of grammar but because of the proper or nearly proper pronunciation of the words and phrases.
