So this spelling came about
 |
Description
Book Introduction
Is a friend who can't go to the bathroom alone a 'coward' or a 'wimp'?
Will the bus come 'anytime'? Or will the bus come 'anytime'?
Is it okay to write it like this? No, it can't be done!
Spelling is always difficult and confusing, now learn it easily and enjoyably.
Have you ever felt embarrassed by a spelling mistake while chatting with friends on social media? Are dictation tests always too difficult? Even if you memorize spelling diligently, you forget it the moment you turn around? In those cases, try "So That's How This Spelling Came About."
We've omitted all the difficult Korean language theories and grammar explanations, and instead used fun cartoons and examples to explain confusing spelling in elementary school textbooks and everyday life in an easy-to-understand way.
We've collected everything from the most common spelling mistakes made by elementary school students, to words that look similar but have different meanings and must be written clearly, spellings with particularly difficult final consonants, plural standard words that can be written in both, and even foreign word spellings that even adults find confusing.
I recommend this book to elementary school students who have always struggled with spelling, parents who want to help their children develop their vocabulary and literacy, and teachers looking for helpful spelling resources.

Into the book
'-jaeng-i' is used to refer to 'a person with a certain behavior or unique personality', such as a dandy or a mischievous person, and '-jang-i' is used to refer to 'a person with a certain skill', such as a blacksmith or a paintworker.
So, when referring to a fearful person, it is correct to use the word 'coward'.
--- p.9
'Myeochil' is a word that was transformed from the old word 'Myeochul'.
We usually write 'what month and what day', but 'what day' is not a word in Korean.
In any case, you should write 'a few days'.
--- p.37
'Pointing' means indicating a direction or object with a finger or something else, and 'teaching' means making known something that is unknown.
These two words are often mixed together and written as 'to teach', but this is an incorrect expression, so be careful.
--- p.53
When the foreign language notation system was created in 1986, only 'jajangmyeon' was designated as the standard word.
However, in 2009, a broadcasting station conducted a survey and the result was that 91% of people pronounced 'jajangmyeon' as 'jjajangmyeon'.
So in 2011, the National Institute of the Korean Language recognized both words as standard.
--- p.119
When transcribing foreign words into Korean, you must follow established rules.
It is a system that sets the consonants and vowels in Korean that correspond to each foreign language pronunciation.
When it starts with the alphabet 'f', like 'Fighting--- p.fighting', the Korean consonant is written as 'ㅍ'.
So, when referring to a fearful person, it is correct to use the word 'coward'.

Publisher's Review
The elementary school Korean language bestseller series "So That's How This Word Came About"
Learning about words becomes more fun when you know their origins!
The "So That's How This Word Came About" series explains the origins of words in an easy and fun way through four-panel comics and short stories.
Knowing the origins of words allows you to naturally understand not only the exact meaning of each word, but also the context and nuance of when to use it.
Because it is not a mechanical memorization, it is easy to remember and allows for in-depth learning.
Vocabulary and literacy skills also grow significantly.
It consists of Volume 1 Korean, Volume 2 Idioms, Volume 3 Chinese Characters, Volume 4 Proverbs, Volume 5 Idioms, and Volume 6 Spelling.
Spelling is difficult to learn, but it's embarrassing to make mistakes. Why should we follow it?
Spelling is a set of rules that allow people to communicate accurately when speaking or writing.
If you write carelessly without following the spelling rules because it's annoying, the meaning will be different and you won't be able to communicate, which will cause great confusion.
Also, speaking correctly is the best way to show courtesy to others.
There are even survey results that show that people's favorability ratings drop significantly when they make spelling mistakes.
To express what I want to say accurately and elegantly, I need to use correct spelling.
But how should I study spelling, which always seems confusing? Is it okay to just memorize grammar and solve workbooks?
If you read fun comics and stories, spelling will naturally stick in your head!
The word fart is a modified form of the Chinese character 'banggi (放氣)', which means to expel air.
The 'gop' in eye boogers refers to pus that forms when the skin is torn or irritated.
If you know the meaning of words like this, you will no longer have to use the mistake of writing “fart” as “fart-gu” or “eye booger” as “eye booger.”
Rather than just memorizing spelling like this, if you know the exact process of how words came to be and their meaning, spelling becomes a bit easier.
Additionally, you can naturally learn spelling by reading comics and articles that explain in a fun way why spelling came into being and how to use it correctly.
By reading this book, you will slowly become familiar with spelling, which has always been difficult.
It's not boring with its diverse compositions including four-panel cartoons, daily life stories, examples, and quizzes.
On each left page where the story begins, there is a fun four-panel comic.
Correct and incorrect spellings are clearly marked, so you can tell the correct spelling at a glance just by reading the comic.
The right page contains a short story about how spelling is used in real life, so even children who are only familiar with educational comics or have difficulty reading long texts can easily read it.
You can also review what you've learned with quizzes, and at the end of the book, all the words are listed in alphabetical order, so you can look them up like a dictionary whenever you get confused.
