Into the book
It was a long time ago.
There was a story on the news about the 10,000 won bus.
I didn't know the word 'ten thousand won' which meant that the bus was full, so I asked my sister, "Is the bus fare ten thousand won?" and she still makes fun of me to this day.
It seems like there are quite a few friends like me who have built up an embarrassing past because they didn't know the meaning of the words.
I went to a middle school to give a lecture and received this tip from a student.
“My friend doesn’t even know what a ‘family tree’ is.” I held my stomach and laughed at the student’s next words.
“You know that Jokbo is a ‘pig’s feet and bossam set’?”
--- p.4 From “Introduction”
If the girl group Twice were to perform in North Korea, what would their name be? Incidentally, the group's name, Twice, carries the meaning of "once for the eyes, once for the ears, doubling the emotion."
If I were the leader of Twice, I would greet my North Korean comrades like this.
"This is 'Gapjeol,' a popular dish in South Korea! Nice to meet you!" If "Gapjeol" sounds more appealing than "Gapjeol," then it's fine to introduce it that way.
Because doubling also means doubling.
--- p.23 From “Double and Double”
I would answer that 'quantitative' means counting the amount and expressing it in numbers, and 'qualitative' means expressing the characteristics by describing them in words.
So, '1 tablespoon of minced garlic' is a quantitative expression, while 'a lot of minced garlic' is a qualitative expression.
In this way, quantitative information is objective because it can be quantified, while qualitative information is subjective because it contains the speaker's feelings.
If you know how the two words are different but still find it difficult to tell them apart, think about it this way: 'The middle letter of quantitative means quantity, so it is related to quantity and is expressed in numbers, and the middle letter of qualitative means quality, so it is related to characteristics and is described in letters.'
--- p.136-137 From “Quantitative and Qualitative”
One evening, the woman wanted to eat some rice cakes.
But the man refused.
The woman began to persuade the man.
“You know that delicious food has zero calories, right? Yeop-tteok is delicious, so it has zero calories.” The man shook his head.
“If you eat carbohydrates, you gain weight.
Yeopddeok is a carbohydrate.
So, if you eat rice cakes, you will gain weight.” The man’s premise was so clear that the woman had no choice but to accept his conclusion.
An argument in which the conclusion is 'necessarily' true if the premise is true is called deductive reasoning.
That is, the premise 100 percent guarantees the conclusion.
--- p.209 From “Deduction, Induction, and Abduction”
I believe that those of you who have read this book will feel as if a bucket of water has been poured into your head.
I guess you're ready to unlock your potential literacy skills by studying vocabulary.
You may think you don't have the literacy skills to pull it off, but don't underestimate the value of living in South Korea and speaking Korean.

Publisher's Review
★Highly recommended by current teachers!★
Just read it once and it will stick in your head!
5 Minutes a Day: A Vocabulary Lesson That Will Build Your Weapon of Lifelong Study
“Isn’t ‘jokbo’ the ‘pig’s feet and bossam set’?” “‘Geumil’ is ‘Friday’, right?” “Where the hell are you? Why are you swearing at me?”
In a recent survey, nine out of ten teachers responded that students' vocabulary is gradually declining compared to the past.
There is a growing number of students who have difficulty following school classes because they do not understand the context of textbook passages or test questions.
People often misunderstand having a high vocabulary as knowing a lot of things.
However, 'real' vocabulary refers to the ability to know the exact meaning of words and to use them appropriately.
If you just know the expressions you often confuse in daily life, the words whose exact meaning you don't know when explaining them to others, and the vocabulary you've been using incorrectly without realizing it, you can increase your understanding of class and reduce mistakes on exams.
《Minimum Vocabulary for Today's Teenagers》 is a book that contains only the vocabulary that today's teenagers must know, from basic but confusing words like 'us and us' and 'ideal and exceeding' to concept words that accurately understand the curriculum, such as 'suspended prosecution and suspended execution' and 'deduction, induction and conclusion'.
Students who have previously considered their limited vocabulary a hindrance to their studies will find that reading this book for just five minutes a day will not only give them a competitive edge in college entrance exams, but will also arm them with a weapon for lifelong study.
A new work by best-selling spelling author Lee Ju-yoon
Upgrade your vocabulary with this super simple and clear 3-step structure!
Author Lee Ju-yoon, who received much love from readers with the praise that “no other author explains spelling so delightfully” in her previous work, “Minimum Spelling Rules for Today’s Teenagers,” has now returned to the topic of vocabulary.
The humorous illustrations and associative techniques that help with intuitive understanding are used in the entertaining storytelling, and the words are imprinted in your mind even after just one reading.
First, you can check your vocabulary level through a vocabulary test presented at the beginning of each chapter.
Through this, readers can see that there are many cases where even commonly used words are used incorrectly.
The text is structured in three steps: 'clear explanation + one-line summary + true/false quiz', and explains only the key points like a lecturer with tongs, helping with repeated learning.
After going through these three stages of training, you will be able to firmly internalize words that were confusing and difficult to learn and remember them for a long time.
Step 1.
'Clear explanation' quantitative = amount
qualitative = characteristic
Step 2.
'One-line summary' 'Quantitative' means expressing the amount in numbers,
'Qualitative' means describing the characteristics in words!
Step 3.
The emotional monetary value created by the 'OX Quiz' company over the past three years is 72.5 billion won.

★Includes a vocabulary list for essay writing and entrance exam preparation★
If you want to have fun and learn at the same time
This is definitely the book
If you're a teenager who has been expressing your emotions using various new words and abbreviations, the "Emotional Vocabulary" section is also worth checking out.
This section introduces vocabulary that can be used depending on the level of intimacy and emotional intensity in a relationship, covering a wide range of vocabulary, from friendly vocabulary for friends to advanced vocabulary that can be used in public settings later on.
Additionally, a vocabulary list for essay writing and entrance exam preparation has been included as a special appendix to help you further upgrade your vocabulary.
The second appendix, which organizes confusing family relationship terms, can help you raise your level of knowledge.
People usually think that to increase vocabulary, you have to just memorize words or study Chinese characters.
So many students find vocabulary study difficult, but this book breaks that preconception.
As you read the cheerful stories and clear, practical examples, as if you were having a fun conversation with a friend who tells stories in an entertaining way rather than with your Korean teacher, 'Eom Geun-jin,' your vocabulary will naturally fill up.
For teenagers who often get lost in front of unfamiliar words and feel embarrassed when they can't find the right word, this book will be a friendly invitation to the world of vocabulary and literacy.
Just read it once and it will stick in your head!
