Korean English Dictionary - Summary
The Korean English Dictionary is an essential resource for anyone learning Korean. This bilingual dictionary offers translations from the Basic Korean Dictionary into English, catering to the diverse linguistic needs of Korean learners. As the number of people studying Korean continues to rise and the landscape of Korean education evolves, there is a growing need for a dictionary that reflects these changes. To address this demand, the National Institute of Korean Language introduced the Basic Korean Dictionary in 2012, available in 11 languages. A team of experts, including Korean educators, translators, native speakers fluent in Korean, and system developers, collaborated for years to create this user-friendly and high-quality dictionary.
Why Use the Korean English Dictionary?
When learning a new language, having a good dictionary is a key tool. We sincerely hope that this Korean English Dictionary will be beneficial for all learners and teachers. In the early stages of learning, the lack of easily accessible words can dampen the motivation to continue. Similar challenges have been faced by Japanese scholars, highlighting the importance of having a solid dictionary. Even after many years of learning, it was found that a concise dictionary published in 1890 missed many common words of the language.
