Let's Learn Korean - Korean Learners Dictionary

Total words: 197

I’ve always told my Korean students that one of the best things for them to do is use a English Learners dictionary while lamenting the fact that there were no learners dictionaries available for Korean. I also guessed that there would very likely never be due to the limited market. However, I was wrong. A few weeks ago I came across a Korean learners dictionary, 한국어 학습 사전, but didn’t have enough money to pick it up.

Well today I finally purchased it. I think that it is quite useful and I particularly like that there is no English anywhere except on the cover. I’ve looked through the dictionary and found that I can understand many of the definitions that I checked, but not all - I’m still at a relatively low level considering my time in the country. The dictionary has some good features in the appendix including a list of important words. The last page I scanned has contact information in case you cannot find the dictionary near you. In the extended entry I’ve put thumbnails of several pages, click for bigger versions or you can look at the pdf (1.6mb). 35,000 won well spent.

Enjoy this post? Share it with others.

yeah, you found this dictionary.
I’ve been meaning and trying to post an entry about this dictionary.
I found this dictionary long time ago so I wanted to let other learners know because I thought it’s quite good, regarding that there hadn’t been any decent korean dictionary for foreigners.
But I coudn’t post an entry. Maybe I need to get some kind of permission from you, and I think you worked it out before but still it doesn’t work.
Help me!!

Hi:-)
I just opened this cool blog. It really looks great, and I’m just starting to read it.
I’d like to learn Korean, and I’m looking for some materials over the net. I was also looking for a Korean equivalent of CHN and JPN pod, but since YOU can’t find it(having all the other materials on this site) I don’t think there exists one…:-(
Anyway, I’ll be stepping on to this site quite often, for sure.
cheers
Olga
