Korean Picture Dictionary: Learn 1,500 Korean Words and Phrases - The Perfect Resource for Visual Learners of All Ages (Includes Online Audio) (Tuttle Picture Dictionary)

I got this book to practice and learn some basic Korean vocabulary because of friends. Having visited South Korea, I loved the food (especially) and culture, which has some similarities to my culture. I love that this book is written by someone who lives and works in Korea at an international school. As someone who worked abroad teaching 100% ESL classrooms and now works with ELD students in the States, I know the importance of making things as visual, interesting and applicable as possible. Learning a new language is hard, but those three things above help make it rewarding. I also love how Korean borrows from English (see my food image), so don’t let that alarm you; it’s not lazy translating! What I Love: *Introduction teaches you some basics of the Korean alphabet, vowels, consonants, romanization, and grammar. * Page spreads are by topic with plenty of images and visuals * “Additional Vocabulary” section gives more words for you to learn * There is a section on each spread where you can practice phrases/sentences related to that topic. * All items have a colored picture, the hangeul (Korean characters), romanization and the English word. * Recordings of the Korean picture dictionary can be downloaded from a link provided at the back of the book to refer to when practicing (or even better, practice with a Korean friend!). What To Know: * This is meant to be a primer, so don’t expect to be fluent after going through this book. It’s recommended by the author to start with a page/topic that interests you, and if you want to learn more words from that category, you can do more self study. * Be wary that the hangeul pronunciation examples are slightly off for English speakers because the writer pronounces the English with a Korean accent. My Korean friend corrected some of the following, which are closer sounds than what she suggested (page 6, included in my photos): Vowels eo - uh o - oh, like “Oh my goodness!” u - ooh, like “Ooh, very neat.” eu - euh ae - eh, like “Eh, that was just okay.” oe - weh, which is same as above but with w sound in front. Consonants (double letters mean strong sound, hence I added the “!” at the end) kk - gguh! tt - dduh! pp - bbuh! ss - ssuh! jj - jjuh!

Great little book but it is a little confusing to read & practise speaking (without listening to the sound files along with it) because it doesn’t explain the sound change rules that exist in Hangeul. The sound files demonstrate these sound changes but the romanised script, while indicating correct spelling, doesn’t. In No.1 ‘Nice to meet you!’, for the word ‘what’ 뭐 요, (ex 8), the initial sound is closer to ‘mwo’ because of the vowel 워 not ‘meo’ as the text suggests. In Ex. 15 & 16: for the Hangeul word 입니다 (meaning ‘to be’) the spelling is “IP-nida”, but the pronunciation is more like “IM-nida”. If you already know the sound change/pronunciation rules, it’s not an issue but if you don’t, it’s confusing. So, I think it would be good for these sound change rules to be pointed out as you go so you understand that the written form of a word is different to the spoken form. In English we all need to know that the initial sound of the double consonants ‘kn’ is pronounced ‘n’ not ‘k’. The sound change rules that exist in Hangeul need to be understood too. (Sound change rules only exist to aid pronunciation, so they’re a really good thing to learn about early on in our Hangeul journey!) Otherwise, this little book is clear and easy to use with great visuals to assist in understanding meaning.

Exactly what I was needing, difficult to learn language if you can't read it to be able to pronounce a word properly. Now, I can see the picture, Hangul and romanized. This, along with "Let's speak Korean" by fandom media, which has sentences with Hangul pronunciation, makes learning so much easier.

Nice printing, very organized. With the audio that can be downloaded from the Tuttle.com under downloable materials, this dictionary becomes powerful tool to learn Korean overall. And the price is good. Love it.

Great book. Easy to learn a few words a day and get familiar with all things Korean culture! Bought it for my child but anyone can find it helpful.

10/10 Very Helpful for anyone wanting to learn Korean. I even purchased a second book because i wanted to have two copies. One for travel and one for home. Fantastic book!

trying to learn korean, and this book is soooo helpful. if you need pics to make sense, then this is it.

Excellent book! I have a patient who had a stroke and I bought this to help me work with him. Great pictures, clear, well organized.

Traducido perfecto, me ha ayudado mucho con la gramática y pronunciación. Realmente es un libro muy completo.

So cool and helpful

Happy with my purchase

I like the pictures of real people, things, and places.

LOVE THIS! Perfect for daily quick study and practice!

My daughter who is determined to learn Korean, this is super helpful and filled with great pictures and lots of fun

Very essential for self learning pipz

Easy to follow chapters with lots of vocab - quick overview in beginning of Hangul, excited to use this not just with kids but for ourselves.

I can’t get out of the review page unless I give a review or recommendation. I don’t like to be forced to review or give comments.

This book is absolutely beautiful, very clear and the design is perfect to learn vocabulary.

Me gusta por que es con carpeta dura

Just what I wanted, great condition. Comes with link for free audio too which is awesome for pronunciations! Pictures and writing very clear and book is divided into great categories. Very happy

Ha llegado esta semana (dos meses de envío), por lo que tarde para regalo de navidad, pero ha gustado mucho. Es en colores, es conciso, puedes ir al tema que quieras y, aunque no sirva por sí solo para aprender el idioma, es una muy buena ayuda. (es para mi mujer, que le chiflan las series coreanas, y me va soltando alguna frasecita

Nutze das Buch neben diversen Apps und online Kursen um einfach Abwechslung beim lernen zu haben. Das Buch ist wirklich gut und hat eine hervorragende Qualitä. Man kann das wichtigste damit lernen . Natürlich ist es eher an Anfänger gerichtet. Nicht zu vergessen es ist ein Bilder-Wörterbuch also braucht man noch weitere Literatur um die Sprache zu lernen

Me ha ayudado bastante en mis clases de Coreano para saber como se dicen las cosas y así poder armar mis oraciones. Lo recomiendo para todo aquel que ha comenzado su aventura con el idioma Coreano!

Trae palabras sin indicar contexto y sin decir si es lenguaje formal o no, por ejemplo, indica 나 como "yo", pero en ningún lado se menciona "저". No me genera confianza para usarlo al estudiar.

Gutes Buch mit vielen Bildern und zu jedem Bild die Vokabeln. Finde es super das es nach Kategorien sortiert ist

Die wichtigsten Vokabeln zu jedem Thema, direkt neben oder unter dem Bild, sowie Zusatzvokabeln und nützliche Phrasen in nebenstehenden Kästchen, jeweils mit Transliteration und englischer Übersetzung.

Buen libro! Trae muchas palabras de vocabulario utiles, aunque algunos adjetivos y verbos se confunden para los que no saben distinguir sus significados

Me gustó mucho la presentación y las ilustraciones

If you already know the sound change/pronunciation rules, it’s not an issue but if you don’t, it’s confusing. So, I think it would be good for these sound change rules to be pointed out as you go so you understand that the written form of a word is different to the spoken form. In English we all need to know that the initial sound of the double consonants ‘kn’ is pronounced ‘n’ not ‘k’. The sound change rules that exist in Hangeul need to be understood too. (Sound change rules only exist to aid pronunciation, so they’re a really good thing to learn about early on in our Hangeul journey!) Otherwise, this little book is clear and easy to use with great visuals to assist in understanding meaning.

Exactly what I was needing, difficult to learn language if you can't read it to be able to pronounce a word properly. Now, I can see the picture, Hangul and romanized. This, along with "Let's speak Korean" by fandom media, which has sentences with Hangul pronunciation, makes learning so much easier.

Nice printing, very organized. With the audio that can be downloaded from the Tuttle.com under downloable materials, this dictionary becomes powerful tool to learn Korean overall. And the price is good. Love it.

Great book. Easy to learn a few words a day and get familiar with all things Korean culture! Bought it for my child but anyone can find it helpful.

10/10 Very Helpful for anyone wanting to learn Korean. I even purchased a second book because i wanted to have two copies. One for travel and one for home. Fantastic book!

trying to learn korean, and this book is soooo helpful. if you need pics to make sense, then this is it.

Excellent book! I have a patient who had a stroke and I bought this to help me work with him. Great pictures, clear, well organized.

Traducido perfecto, me ha ayudado mucho con la gramática y pronunciación. Realmente es un libro muy completo.

Good

Muy buen material y quede encantado.

I got this book to practice and learn some basic Korean vocabulary because of friends. Having visited South Korea, I loved the food (especially) and culture, which has some similarities to my culture. I love that this book is written by someone who lives and works in Korea at an international school. As someone who worked abroad teaching 100% ESL classrooms and now works with ELD students in the States, I know the importance of making things as visual, interesting and applicable as possible. Learning a new language is hard, but those three things above help make it rewarding. I also love how Korean borrows from English (see my food image), so don’t let that alarm you; it’s not lazy translating! What I Love: *Introduction teaches you some basics of the Korean alphabet, vowels, consonants, romanization, and grammar. * Page spreads are by topic with plenty of images and visuals * “Additional Vocabulary” section gives more words for you to learn * There is a section on each spread where you can practice phrases/sentences related to that topic. * All items have a colored picture, the hangeul (Korean characters), romanization and the English word. * Recordings of the Korean picture dictionary can be downloaded from a link provided at the back of the book to refer to when practicing (or even better, practice with a Korean friend!). What To Know: * This is meant to be a primer, so don’t expect to be fluent after going through this book. It’s recommended by the author to start with a page/topic that interests you, and if you want to learn more words from that category, you can do more self study. * Be wary that the hangeul pronunciation examples are slightly off for English speakers because the writer pronounces the English with a Korean accent. My Korean friend corrected some of the following, which are closer sounds than what she suggested (page 6, included in my photos): Vowels eo - uh o - oh, like “Oh my goodness!” u - ooh, like “Ooh, very neat.” eu - euh ae - eh, like “Eh, that was just okay.” oe - weh, which is same as above but with w sound in front. Consonants (double letters mean strong sound, hence I added the “!” at the end) kk - gguh! tt - dduh! pp - bbuh! ss - ssuh! jj - jjuh!

Great little book but it is a little confusing to read & practise speaking (without listening to the sound files along with it) because it doesn’t explain the sound change rules that exist in Hangeul. The sound files demonstrate these sound changes but the romanised script, while indicating correct spelling, doesn’t. In No.1 ‘Nice to meet you!’, for the word ‘what’ 뭐 요, (ex 8), the initial sound is closer to ‘mwo’ because of the vowel 워 not ‘meo’ as the text suggests. In Ex. 15 & 16: for the Hangeul word 입니다 (meaning ‘to be’) the spelling is “IP-nida”, but the pronunciation is more like “IM-nida”.
