Summary: Hongul is fun!
Review: Like the first review says, if you learn the Hongul alphabet(and I assure you it is easy), then you can read the language and you can speak in no time. If you want a dictionary that says it all and is concise down to the most difficult words and thoughts, then buy this dictionary. When you have been in Korea and know what the culture is like and try like hell to fit in by using the language, you can't go wrong with this dictionary. Jin-chao!

Summary: EVERYTHING I EXPECTED!
Review: THIS IS THE BEST KOREAN DICTIONARY I'VE SEEN. IT'S WELL WORTH WHAT I PAID FOR IT. IT LISTS LOTS OF DEFINITIONS AND IS VERY THOROUGH. I ESPECIALLY LIKE IT BECAUSE OF ITS EXPLANATIONS AND EXAMPLES OF HOW TO USE THE WORD IN A SENTENCE. BY THE WAY, THERE ARE TWO VOLUMES: ENGLISH-KOREAN AND KOREAN-ENGLISH, BOTH AROUND 3,000 PAGES. YOU CAN SEE HOW THOROUGH THEY ARE. I HAVE THE ENGLISH-KOREAN ONE AND PLAN TO BUY THE OTHER ONE SOON. ANOTHER THING I LIKE IS THAT THERE ARE NO ROMANIZATIONS TO MESS WITH. IF YOU LEARN THE HANKUL ALPHABET, LEARNING TO READ IT IS EASY. GREAT DICTIONARY!
