[.ca] Korean (ISBN 1585731986)

Excellent , and helpful for most levels of Korean learners:
This pocket dictionary was very helpful in my study of Korean. I bought it when I started learning the language. I'm now able to speak at an intermediate level and this dictionary is still helpful. The size, being quite small, is also practical as it can be put in a jacket side pocket. I basically take it with me everywhere ! A great feature is also the many sentence and usage examples for many of the words and verbs. It helped develop my grammar skills as well. I recommend it to people learning Korean and also perhaps Korean learning English, though the Korean->English section uses romanized characters and not Hangeul directly which might be a drawback for a Korean native ? A last point: it is the exact same book (written by same authors and same editor: Langenscheidt ) as the LANGENSCHEIDT KOREAN-ENGLISH Dictionary... Except the cover looks different and also the paper quality & print fonts are slightly different. I picked the INSIGHT TRAVEL... because it seemed easier to read than the 'more serious' looking LANGENSCHEIDT dictionary. Have fun in your study !
