The original method of learning words by understanding their etymology
The world's most trusted vocabulary book
This book clearly explains the concepts and principles of advanced English vocabulary.
This is the bible of English vocabulary study books that has been consistently loved for the past 70 years since its publication in 1949. It is the masterpiece of Professor Norman Lewis, who is called the 'Dale Carnegie of etymology research.'
This is a textbook that our contemporary prose writer, Go Jong-seok, considers the first book in his life that intellectually overwhelmed him. He says that this book is not simply a book of English words, but a book that gives a glimpse into the landscape that created European cultural history.
When we look into the origins of words, culture, mythology, history, philosophy, and science naturally emerge.
The starting point of this book is that words must be understood in context.
Rather than simply memorizing spelling and meaning, it clearly and kindly explains how the word was created, how it is used, and how its meaning expands when combined with other words.
As I follow the explanations as if I were taking an interesting humanities class, the words naturally become my own.
This book, considered the pioneer of etymology-centered English vocabulary learning, sold over a million copies in Korea even before a proper translation was available, becoming a legend among vocabulary study guides. A must-read for students preparing for exams like the SAT, TOEFL, and GRE, it guarantees a vocabulary level comparable to that of an American college student.
It is a bestseller in the Vocabulary category on Amazon in the US as well as on Amazon in Japan, and is a commemorative edition for the 70th anniversary of its publication.
After studying the Korean translation, review it with the English version provided as an appendix.
Not only will you have the amazing experience of being able to read fluently in English, but your reading comprehension skills will also improve to the top level.

Publisher's Review
The bible of English vocabulary study books that have been loved for the longest time since their publication in 1949.
Since its first publication in 1949, Word Power Made Easy has remained a must-read in regular English language learning curricula, not only in non-English speaking countries but also in the United States.
This is a rare language book that has been loved for generations, and has become a legend among English vocabulary textbooks that has maintained its reputation to this day thanks to recommendations from previous learners.
It is a long-term bestseller (VOCA category) on Amazon in the US, and is also on the bestseller list (VOCA category) on Amazon in Japan.
The original vocabulary textbook for understanding vocabulary through etymology
You cannot truly master vocabulary by mechanically memorizing only spelling and meaning.
Professor Norman Lewis, known as the 'Dale Carnegie of etymology', explains the origins of vocabulary and the principles of word composition.
It covers history, mythology, religion, philosophy, science, and more, and provides a detailed and clear explanation of how vocabulary is created and used.
Because words are a self-portrait of human society and cannot be born without historical and cultural background.
That's why the book reads like a humanities book, even though it focuses on vocabulary.
A tail-chasing vocabulary expansion learning method
Starting with the ten basic words provided at the beginning of each chapter, it expands to groups of words with the same root, groups of words with similar meanings, groups of words with opposite meanings, and numerous derivatives appear.
However, each chapter is closely connected to a single topic, so it is received in the mind one by one without being confused or superficial.
It is a learning method that follows the thought process of our brain, where words are organized into a single line, one after another.
At the end of each part, there are practice questions to help you thoroughly review any areas you may need before moving on to the next chapter.
The "Word Mapping Book" included at the back of the book visualizes the relationships between words in the form of a mind map. Even if you review this section separately, you can greatly enhance your learning effectiveness.
Must-read books for high scores on the SAT, GRE, and TOEFL
"Word Power Made Easy" is a textbook that guarantees vocabulary skills at the American college level.
It is the original textbook for learning advanced English vocabulary and is the most widely used must-read for students preparing for the SAT, GRE, and TOEFL around the world.
Especially for those studying for the SAT or GRE, it also has a list of frequently used words, which is useful for prospective international students studying to enter American universities, people who have memorized a lot of words but still need to look up a dictionary to read high-level original texts, and people who want to read intellectual texts.
Beyond an English vocabulary textbook, a humanities book
Norman Lewis, a lexicographer, etymologist, and professor of linguistics, says vocabulary is the starting point of success.
Accurate word use is connected to all areas of life, not just reading and writing.
The method that Professor Lewis used to acquire such important words is the context methodology.
It is about understanding the background of the birth of a word, the process of its growth, and the characteristics of related words through a single context.
The words in the book are organically connected and integrated into one.
The way of explanation is also based on context, with religion, culture, history, mythology, philosophy, science, and psychology appearing as the background for the birth of words.
Therefore, this book is closer to a humanities book than a simple English vocabulary textbook.
It is a masterpiece that will bring intellectual joy to those who read it in its entirety.
