3.0 out of 5 stars
Good, but needs to be updated,
By A Customer
This review is from: Concise English-Korean Dictionary (Paperback)
This is a good little dictionary listing essential vocabulary, but it needs to be revised from its original 1954 vocabulary. A lot of words have changed in the Korean language since then, and a native Korean I showed the dictionary to said many of the words are only ones his grandparents would use. Use with caution.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Inaccurate, to say the least.,
By Brian "bdee" (Atlanta) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Concise English-Korean Dictionary (Paperback)
We bought this book prior to our moving to Korea. We have tried to use it on a number of occasions. More than half the time, the romanized pronunciation is way off. And frequentlyly the entire word is wrong. On occasion, Koreans don't even know what the word is written in Han-Gul or romanized. I think a person coming to Korea should have a book like this, but it should be one that helps native english speakers better in pronunciation. Also, the words themselves should be accurate. Sometimes the word written is the OPPOSITE of what you're trying to say. For example, the word given for a definiton for the word 'delicious' was actually an equivilent to their word for strange. You can imagine what kind of problems that would make in a restaurant or a person's home. So be careful!

AWFUL BOOK!,
By A Customer

Worthless! You would thing that if you publish a book, it would be accurate. This book is awful. Terrible romanization, too.
