Description
Book Introduction
“Let’s have N-bread!” “The truth is coming out!”
How well do you know these expressions that Koreans use so naturally and frequently? Even if you're diligently studying Korean, it's easy to feel like something's missing when you see Korean subtitles on YouTube or comments on Instagram.
As our daily lives have changed since the advent of smart devices, the words we use frequently have also changed.
Reflecting these changes, 『Everyday K-Lingo』 has selected the “new daily life” using smartphones, social media, online shopping, OTT, delivery apps, KakaoTalk, etc. as its theme and included vocabulary and expressions frequently used in that daily life.


But just knowing a lot of words doesn't mean you can express yourself easily.
For example, if you want to say, "I commented on my favorite Instagram," you need to know the word "comment" as well as the expression "to comment," and that you need to connect "Insta" and "to comment" with the particle "e."
By remembering meaning chunks rather than lexical units, you can quickly express situations or actions that come to mind in Korean.
To achieve this, 『Everyday K-Lingo』 presents vocabulary as chunks of meaning rather than individual words.


And by constructing conversations using vivid Korean expressions in various situations, we have enabled students to learn how to use expressions in specific situations.
It also includes delicious Korean expressions like 'I feel like my stomach is going to burst', as well as non-standard words, trendy words, and new words like 'Jjinmatjib'.
You can naturally improve your Korean language skills by reading the interesting dialogue presented in 4-panel cartoons as if it were a webtoon and listening to the audio provided via QR code.

Publisher's Review
ㆍ Learn real Korean that Koreans use in their daily lives!
The Korean that Koreans actually use in YouTube subtitles, Instagram comments, and KakaoTalk conversations is usually difficult to learn from books.
Moreover, since there are many abbreviations, non-standard words, trendy words, and new words, it is often difficult to understand them unless you learn how to use them in which situation.
“Everyday K-Lingo” covers a variety of vocabulary and expressions that Koreans frequently use in their daily lives, helping you learn authentic Korean.

ㆍ You can learn in chunks of meaning and connect them to conversation!
Just because you know a lot of words doesn't mean you can easily express what you want to say.
It is difficult to have a conversation if you do not know what vocabulary to use together and what particles to use to connect them.
To achieve this, “Everyday K-Lingo” presents vocabulary as chunks of meaning rather than individual words.
By recalling the content memorized in chunks of meaning according to the situation or action, I was able to speak Korean fluently.


ㆍ You can naturally learn Korean expressions in specific situations through 4-panel comics!
By expressing specific situations in everyday life in the form of cartoons, you can learn Korean expressions in a fun and natural way.
By reading it lightly as if you were reading a webtoon and listening to the vivid audio recorded by professional voice actors through QR codes, you will be able to effectively learn about everyday conversation situations of Koreans.
