This book is required for those who finished learning Korean basic level
and started to learn an intermediate level. At once you learn only 19
consonants and 21 vowels in Korean you will already be able to read and it’s
easy to learn Korean language at first. But, in an intermediate level there are
a lot of words to memorize. Most of the Korean words based on Chinese
characters(* more than 60% of Korean words) and this makes learning Korean words
more difficult.
Since each combination of Chinese characters has its own meaning, it is
very effective to memorize several words with similar meanings when learning
Chinese characters. For example, Chinese character ‘가(家)’, which means
≪house≫, is included into the words such as ‘가구(furniture)’, ‘가족(family)’, ‘가정
(household)’, ‘가축(domestic animals)’, ‘가전제품(home appliances)’. By collecting
these words together and comparing them, you can memorize easily new words in
short time.
