Book Introduction

What book do you need?


They say there is a field in the heart too.

It's a field where you plant horse seeds.

In this field
If you plant pretty words, you will have a pretty heart.
They say that if you say bad words, you will get bad feelings.
Shall we plant our beautiful and pure Korean language?

Words are vessels that hold thoughts, feelings, and emotions. What kind of words should we use?

Words are our thoughts and life, written and refined by our ancestors over a long period of time.
Knowing and using our language correctly is how we preserve our identity and continue our culture.
It is a natural trend of the times for foreign words to be used in daily life and for new words to be created, but the problem is when these changes have a negative impact on children.
With the proliferation of the Internet and smart devices, children are exposed to a much more diverse language environment than before.
In this process, it is common to see violent expressions, indiscriminate use of foreign words, and excessive abbreviations.
This phenomenon makes our language seem like nothing more than 'old stuff' and causes its value to disappear.
In this flow, a precious book was born that breathes new life into our precious Korean language, which we must protect and cherish.
『Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Four Seasons Korean Dictionary』 will play an important role in helping children grow with better 'language'.

Into the book
Going to school feels like five days a week.

Five full days, from Monday to Friday.
One day, two days, three days, four days, five days.
Because you have to study every day like you're plowing a field.
Ah! How nice it would be if it were three days.
--- From "Spring's Five-Day Change"

At the window after the rain shower
I fell into a deep sleep.
I met a cicada playing guitar at the beach.
I met a dog swimming with goggles on.

I met a cat happily surfing the waves.

I jumped into the cool water.
Oops! I woke up with a splash.
Maybe that cicada, that dog, that cat
Maybe I fell into a deep sleep?
Could it be that we met in a dark world?
--- From "Summer, Dark"

Exciting fall sports day.

The blue army bursts the blue box.
The white army bursts the white gourd.

As the Blue and White Relay Race began
The Blue Army is cheering for the Blue Army.
The Baekgun cheering song is a song of support for the Baekgun.
The clouds in the sky are also tumbling together.
--- From "Autumn, the Loud and Noisy"

The pepper wind blew fiercely.

I was worried about the snowman I made yesterday.
A chilli wind that feels like biting flesh.
Wouldn't the snowman be shaking?
I ran to the snowman with my scarf.
Ah! The snowman is already wearing a scarf.
Who put the scarf around me?
--- From "Winter, Chili Wind"

Publisher's Review
A special dictionary that allows you to experience the four seasons together and become closer to the warm Korean language.

『Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Four Seasons Korean Dictionary』 introduces Korean words related to children's lives according to the flow of the four seasons.
The various things we see, hear, and feel while nature wakes up and falls asleep are explained in our language through affectionate text and pictures.
This structure goes beyond simply learning words and helps you learn Korean naturally in everyday life.
Every time children open the book, they can have the special experience of seeing seasonal scenery come to life in Korean, becoming closer to the warm Korean language.

Cold spell? Darkness? Three days, four days? Revenge or no retribution?
A total of 292 beautiful Korean words and easily confused Korean words.


What kind of book would be appropriate for children who can distinguish between "inssa" and "assa" but struggle to distinguish between "sahil" and "nahil"? Children who know "bunjotka" and "haknojam" but not "yunseul" and "beojji"? "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Four Seasons Korean Dictionary" doesn't instill an obsession with using Korean, but rather helps children cultivate a healthy language culture.
It contains a total of 292 words, including 56 headwords and 236 related words, including beautiful Korean words and easily confused Korean words.
Children will be able to feel pride in their Korean language by seeing and reading each word with their own eyes, and they will be able to take the lead in preserving our language, which is disappearing.

From spring when yellow flowers bloom to winter when white snow falls
Four Seasons Korean Stories that Unfold with Each Season


Just like the lives of adults, the lives of children are also intertwined with the four seasons.
Educational activities at schools are also organized into spring, summer, fall, and winter, and more specifically, they are organized throughout the year according to the seasons.
The integrated curriculum for spring, summer, fall, and winter for lower elementary school students, as well as activities, songs, and games presented in other textbooks, are also organized according to the seasons.
『Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Four Seasons Korean Dictionary』 contains 292 Korean words divided by season.
From spring, when you bundle up in layers of clothes to the rain showers, to summer, when you fall asleep in the rain, to autumn, when you gather with your family to greet the moon, to winter, when you fall head over heels in love with the snow, I hope you will enjoy discovering nature, life, and the Korean language anew through the stories of the four colorful seasons.
This book is recommended for children who want to enrich their vocabulary, children who want to experience the charm of the Korean language, children who love the changing seasons, and children who want to feel the connection between words and nature.

The Golden Toad Award winner, 『Queen of Words』, is presented by author Shin So-young.
Warm and cheerful Korean words that capture the daily lives of children.


Author Shin So-young, winner of the 27th Golden Toad Award for her children's book "Queen of Words," filled with light-filled words and warm comfort, has compiled a book filled with Korean words she wants to share with children.
By reading short texts written using beautiful Korean words and phrases, children can see scenes they have never seen before.
What do feather clouds look like, how do nightshades fall, what color are buckwheat dragonflies, and what do snow clouds look like?
You will be able to name not only landscapes but also unfamiliar sensations.
What does 'singsungsaengsung' feel like, what does 'jambangjambang' sound like, what does 'dalborehada' taste like, what does 'hazy' look like?
Author Shin So-young wrote this book with the hope that children would experience a more beautiful world by adding new Korean words to familiar landscapes and sensations.

A painting that evokes deep sympathy and emotion through the artist's unique delicacy.

The artist Sobok captured the seasonal paintings with her own affectionate touch.
'Sabujaksabujak' depicts pulling out weeds and planting seeds with friends in the school garden; 'Snail Walk' depicts walking very slowly and conveys the message that it's okay to be slow; 'Neoulgaji' expresses the growth of friendship by giving an umbrella to a friend who is getting wet in the rain; and 'Bojjang' compares the stubborn thoughts that are nurtured in one's heart to a puppy. These illustrations depict warm scenes from children's daily lives in delicate and cheerful pictures, allowing children to more easily understand the meaning of Korean words and use them in their daily lives.
Additionally, Sobok's warm gaze on family, animals, friends, and neighbors, which is unique to the author, evokes deep empathy and emotion along with a long aftertaste in the heart.
You will be able to see many paintings that resemble me, my family, my friends, and my daily life.

Review and recommendation by teachers of 'Our Language Education', which studies children's lives, speech, and writing.

'Our Language Education' is a group of teachers from Jeollanam-do and Gwangju who have been growing for over 20 years while thinking about children's lives, language, and writing.
It is comprised of elementary school teachers who select new topics to study each year, such as old stories, reading of whole works, and ecological education, and share them with children on site.
We carefully reviewed both the title and related words to select Korean words that are not difficult to understand and are beautiful to pronounce.
With the hope that this book will help more people cherish our language and rediscover forgotten words, the teachers of Korean language education are sharing their stories today with the hope that children will live happily.

Recommendation

This is a package that helps you feel the beauty and value of our language.
It is also a precious seed that shows us that the beauty of life and nature, which repeats itself every year, is embedded in our language.
I hope this book will be widely known and used.
I hope that more people will cherish our words and that this will be an opportunity to rediscover forgotten words.
