If you laugh, it will disappear into your head, and your literacy will improve!
100 Essential Elementary Idioms Learned Through Comics


A series of elementary literacy comics has been created by Oh Hyeon-seon, a reading education expert with 25 years of experience.
Teacher Oh Hyeon-seon is known as the “elementary school teacher’s teacher,” and has met with children and parents across the country and run reading classes.
Having met countless children, I am an expert who knows better than anyone what elementary school students find difficult and what moments they find interesting while studying Korean.

The first book in the series covers four-character idioms, which are the foundation of elementary vocabulary and literacy.
Idioms are short words made up of four Chinese characters, and they appear frequently in everyday conversations, newspaper articles, news, and even middle and high school Korean language textbooks.
This book explains difficult idioms in an easy and fun way through cartoons that children like.
As you follow the delightful stories of these four snack-like characters as they engage in their daily lives, you'll have the magical experience of having four-character idioms stick in your mouth even after just a quick glance.
Even children who have difficulty reading can build a foundation for their Korean language skills by laughing and empathizing.
Meet your child who has become a master of idioms, turning the pages of a book without being told to do so.
