The Thousand Character Classic series, which first appeared in 2004, became the number one bestseller in Korean literature, with cumulative sales exceeding 4.3 million copies.
The Thousand-Yil Classic, which has established itself as Korea's best English textbook, has been reborn in a new way to suit learning trends.
The Thousand-Yil Classic is characterized by learning English structure by reading representative phrases separately, and is a textbook that allows for quick direct reading and accurate sentence interpretation practice.

〈Cheonilmun Core〉 was created for test takers who dream of reducing errors in grammar interpretation and jumping to the top ranks.
It consists of a total of 500 sentences, and we focused on training sentences that are similar in form and may cause confusion in interpretation.
It reflects the latest trends in past exam questions from the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), the Evaluation Institute, etc., and also includes phrases directly related to grammar and writing tests.
Cheonilbigeup (separate commentary collection) contains detailed explanations, allowing for self-directed learning and review.

Additionally, the 'Thousand Character Classic Core Problem Book (Training Book)' sold separately contains sentences different from those in the main book, allowing you to access a wider variety of sentences containing the relevant phrases and check whether you have thoroughly learned the phrases.
It consists of various types such as direct reading, grammar, composition, interpretation, and sentence transition.
If you want to reduce mistakes in grammar interpretation, I highly recommend reviewing the Thousand Character Classic core problem book.


Not only the college entrance exam and school report card, but also important phrases that frequently appear in exams such as the official English exam and civil service exam can be learned through the Thousand-Yi Classic.
I hope you get good results on any test you take with the Thousand Character Classic.
