Korean Beyond Words: Learning Korean Through Culture and Context 77
Description
Book Introduction
Even though I studied grammar diligently and memorized a lot of vocabulary, when I actually listen to Korean people speak, there are times when I don't know what they are saying, what they mean, or what their intention is.
At this time, we encountered the habits of Korean language beyond words and grammar and the cultural context embedded within them.
This book is designed to serve as a guide for learners who encounter such moments, helping them understand the deeper meaning behind Korean expressions.
Beyond simply speaking correctly, it helps you develop a pragmatic sense that allows you to choose the right expression for the situation and even understand the other person's feelings.

The 77 cartoons and episodes contain a variety of situations and expressions that could easily occur in everyday life.
By recalling scenes from comics and reading episodes, you will be able to naturally learn the true meaning hidden in the expressions.
As you follow the story, at some point you might nod your head and say, “Ah, so that’s what they said back then.”
You don't have to read this book from the beginning.
You can read it comfortably from the scene that catches your eye.
With a cup of coffee, if you take a break and flip through the book, you'll find yourself not only improving your Korean reading skills, but also deepening your understanding of Korean thought and speech.
There may come a moment when I discover that I am speaking like a Korean without even realizing it.
