Description
Book Introduction
With elementary school bestselling author Ok Hyo-jin
Understand the geographic and cultural concepts that appear in textbooks
Let's become a global leader!


You don't need to know geography or culture? NO!
Geography and culture concepts essential for global citizens!
Children who know geography and culture are true global leaders!

Geography and culture are closely connected to our lives.
There is no place in life where geographical culture is not present.
The neighborhood where you live, the way you go to school, the convenience store you often go to, the beach you went to during summer vacation, the overseas trip you took on a plane, etc.
If you think about it, everything that surrounds us is related to geography and culture.
You may be wondering why things that seem completely unrelated at first glance are considered geography and culture. Isn't geography simply about roads and maps?

This book vividly and vividly explains geographic and cultural concepts, which are usually perceived as abstract and distant, in the context of children's daily lives: school, home, and relationships with friends.
When Sol-i and Tani appear and show curiosity about various geographical and cultural concepts such as maps, weather forecasts, the Korean Peninsula, the five oceans, neighboring countries, climate, and world festivals, the kind teacher Ok explains them step by step from the children's eye level.
Also, the cute puppy Mong-i and the shy cat Nyang-i appear to help children learn geography and culture concepts that they may find difficult by using them as metaphors, making learning more fun.
As you learn concepts step by step with these lovable characters, you'll realize that geography and culture are always with us, and you'll gain a much better understanding of the world we live in.

Publisher's Review
Selected by current elementary school teacher Ok Hyo-jin
100 Essential Geography and Culture Concepts for Kids!


What is latitude and longitude? How do you distinguish between a cape and a bay? How are Korea's administrative districts divided? What is the longest country in the world? Geography and culture are concepts we use frequently, yet they can be particularly challenging to explain.
I'm sure I've heard it somewhere, but I can't quite remember it.
《Teacher Ok Hyo-jin's Dictionary of Geography and Culture Concepts》 systematically organizes the geography and culture concepts that children need to know from Chapters 1 to 8.
It explains in detail everything from the principles of interesting maps to geography in daily life, the geography of our country, continents and oceans, countries around the world, climate and life, and the mysterious geography and culture of the world.


What makes this book even more special is that teacher Ok Hyo-jin, who has personally selected 100 essential geography and cultural concepts that she believes elementary school students should know while working with children as a current teacher.
It quickly covers everything from concepts found in social studies textbooks to current issues frequently appearing in the news today, such as 'Dokdo,' 'North Korea,' 'population density,' and 'oil-producing countries.'
Through "Professor Ok Hyo-jin's Dictionary of Geography and Culture," you will be able to thoroughly build your basic social knowledge and even acquire current affairs knowledge.

You will quickly become familiar with the concept through familiar everyday episodes,
Learn essential geography and culture knowledge faster and easier than anyone else with friendly explanations!


Although this book is titled and formatted as a dictionary, I have tried to present a variety of geographical and cultural concepts in a format that is as informal as possible.
First, we will learn about geography and culture concepts in a friendly way through everyday episodes featuring Teacher Ok and the children.
After that, you can immediately understand the concept accurately through the dictionary definition.
The following explanations are in the form of comic panels rather than simple text, allowing you to learn about the concepts in detail without getting bored.
The cute illustrations that appear between the explanations help readers learn the concepts more easily and enjoyably.
Lastly, if you read the social common sense related to the concepts that Teacher Ok explains, your knowledge of geography and culture will become richer.
