"Chinese idioms and vocabulary for these occasions to express my own thoughts and feelings."

Many of the vocabulary we use in our daily lives is made up of Chinese characters.
In fact, more than 70% of the vocabulary we use is composed of Chinese characters.
The reason why Chinese characters have come to occupy such an important place in our language is deeply related to the history of our culture using Chinese characters to write and communicate.
In the process, Chinese characters naturally influenced our language, and even today, they have become an important component of our language.
Chinese characters are not simply loanwords; each character has its own unique meaning and sound, allowing for the creation of a variety of vocabulary.
Therefore, understanding the etymology and meaning of each Chinese character will not only give you a deeper understanding of the Korean language, but will also play an important role in leading conversations.
This book is structured to help you use a wide range of Chinese character vocabulary appropriately to express your own thoughts and feelings and to lead conversations.

In addition, we have selected Chinese character idioms that you know but do not know the meaning of, new vocabulary that you do not know at all, or Chinese character idioms that you do not know how to express, and introduced them with example sentences to help you express them appropriately.
