For foreign learners of Korean, idioms and proverbs that have different meanings from their written meanings can be difficult.
『Learning Korean through Idioms and Proverbs (Aiming for High TOPIK Score)』 is designed to help foreign learners acquire the idioms and proverbs that are essential to learning Korean, as well as thoroughly prepare for idiom and proverb questions that frequently appear on the intermediate and advanced levels of the TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean) so that they can achieve high scores.


This book categorizes idioms and proverbs by topic and presents typical situations in which they are used, along with cartoons and pictures, to help readers understand their meanings at a glance.
We present conversations with rich everyday vocabulary in real-life situations so that you can immediately apply what you have learned to real-life conversations.
A total of 80 TOPIK expected and past questions related to idioms and proverbs are included to help you fully prepare for this type of question.


You can also do extended learning on idioms and proverbs.
Many things that are commonly known as idioms are already listed as words in the dictionary.
These words were included in 'Fun expressions like idioms' to avoid confusion for learners, and words that are only used in an idiomatic sense were also introduced.
By introducing the origins of proverbs, we increased understanding and interest in proverbs.


I hope this book will be of great help to foreign learners who want to speak Korean naturally like a Korean person, and to foreign test takers who aim for a high TOPIK score.
