preface

Chinese is the most widely spoken language in the world, and it is easy to access because it is part of the same Chinese character sphere as us.
However, there is a preconception that it is 'difficult' as many learners give up in the early stages of studying due to unfamiliar pronunciations or Chinese characters.

However, as a Chinese major, I confidently advise you, "Chinese may seem like a steep climb at first, but once you conquer one or two, the steps become more gradual. So, don't give up at first."
If you've already taken the first step to learn, just be patient and keep going.
The preconception that Chinese is difficult will soon disappear.

Each language has its own unique characteristics and charms, but the most enjoyable part of studying Chinese is that you can express the same meaning by reducing the number of characters.
This is a characteristic of ideographic characters. You can start by explaining it in simple terms, and then gradually reduce the number of characters as you reach a certain level.
As you try to convey deep meaning in just a few characters, you'll be amazed at how much your Chinese has improved.

With this in mind, the Legend Chinese Conversation Dictionary includes a wide range of expressions, from simple to more advanced, that can be used in everyday life as well as travel and business.
Additionally, we have organized various stories related to Chinese culture and history to help you understand and learn Chinese more enjoyably.

And to help you build your confidence in Chinese, this book meticulously includes pinyin and Hangul pronunciation notations for every Chinese expression.
We have written it in Korean to be as close to the pronunciation of native speakers as possible so that you can use the necessary expressions without difficulty.
Mastering a language is never easy.
But just as everything requires effort and hard work to achieve results, there is absolutely no failure with consistent effort!

Features of this book

We have carefully selected the most commonly used basic expressions in Chinese.
Through learning, you can easily use basic conversations on a variety of topics, from introducing yourself and talking about your hobbies to describing your job and expressing your emotions.
Over 3,000 expressions for different situations!
This is a vocabulary and expression collection for Chinese language learners from absolute beginners to intermediate level. It groups situations frequently encountered in daily life into 12 major themes, which are then divided into over 500 smaller themes, presenting approximately 3,000 expressions.

Master basic vocabulary with eye-catching pictures!
You can easily learn basic vocabulary with over 500 illustrations.
It contains basic words needed for daily life, such as self-introduction and work life, as well as key words and vocabulary by topic, such as hobbies and emotions, along with vivid illustrations.

Korean pronunciation notation that you can find and say right away!
The easiest way for beginners with limited basic skills to learn Chinese is to write the pronunciation in Hangul.
Although Chinese pronunciation does not correspond one-to-one with Korean, we have written the Korean pronunciation in a way that is close to the standard pronunciation used in China to facilitate learning.
Even beginners can find the expressions they need anytime, anywhere and use a variety of sentences.
At the bottom of each expression, we've provided a list of reference vocabulary so you can understand it right away without a dictionary.

Be sure to check it out!

It is easier to understand a language if you know the culture well.
We have included various information about Chinese society and culture, as well as the background of the language formation, so that you can express yourself without having to memorize it.
Have fun learning expressions while experiencing their culture, which is different from ours.

Speaking Intensive Training YouTube Videos & MP3s!
This book provides MP3 files and videos of the text, recorded with accurate pronunciation by native speakers, from Hanyu Pinyin to basic vocabulary and all conversational expressions in the text.
You can easily find video materials by scanning the QR code for each unit.
Listen often and repeat out loud to increase your learning effectiveness.
