highly recommended

very easy to use

The words are arranged according to the romanized pronunciation of a word, for example 'nuni ssain' [snowy field] is listed under 'n'.

After each romanized entry you see the Hangul, or script of the word, followed by the meaning of the word.

If you have decided that you need a dictionary then you probably already know how to read Hangul script. I agree with the previous reviewer that it is awkward using romanization again after having learned Hangul, it's annoying.

Other than that I have no complaints, it is modern and comprehensive.
Some of the words or expressions you can find include: 'economic boom, denim jeans, population density, baseball glove, mean with money...'.
The typesetting and color-use is very nice, easy on the eyes.

Good backup for a student of Korean language

This reference has served well for an American student who is teaching English in Korea to mid thru high school students.

Great book

This book is a great find for me. I am trying to learn Korean so I can speak and understand the Korean language with my mother. This dictionary is a great help to me when I am trying to impress my mom by attempting to speak her native language. It is easy to use and look up the translations. Most of the translations given that I use are perfect for everyday usage and context. There is no ambiguity between me and my mother.

well worth having

I'm trying to learn Korean. I have to admit that I was initially frustrated in using the Korean-English section...I wasn't able to look up (find) any of the words of interest. I've been using the Indiana University web site to learn hangul and to acquire some vocabulary. The site is pictorial along with hangul and audio (but no English). In some cases, I couldn't be sure what the picture represented, so looking up the word seemed appropriate. I thought that I could simply use a romanized hangul chart to find the entry in the dictionary. Life is never that simple. But after I got more familiar with the way the dictionary romanizes Korean words,I began to have more success (as well as more satisfaction). The dictionary is attractively put together with a two-color scheme. It also has sections providing guides to pronunciation, grammar,and useful phrases.

An Excellent Resource

One phrase describes it all... an indispensable resource for learning Korean. With its affordable price, two colored layout, and readable fonts in addition to the large number of entries, this dictionary is a must-have for any enthusiastic Korean language learner. Even the romanization of words that some readers find to be a problem helps in the pronunciation of Korean words.

Who says dictionaries have to be dull? Berlitz's new Concise Dictionaries are a fun and effective tool for language learners. With approximately 50,000 entries, it is a comprehensive reference work. But that's where the similarity to other bilingual dictionaries ends. An exclusive 48-page bonus section, filled with word games and puzzles, challenges the user to hone vocabulary, spelling, grammar and comprehension skills while engaging in a popular, enjoyable pastime.
