Synopsis
The Periplus Pocket Dictionaries are ideal for students and travelers, covering all the words needed for everyday situations and basic travel. They were designed by academics and translators to fit the needs of people traveling to a foreign country--who may not want to spend hours in class learning a new language.
Each dictionary features over 3,000 entries in each direction--both to and from English--romanized forms and the authentic script where applicable, a brief guide to pronunciation, general vocabulary appropriate for beginners and intermediates, different senses of the same word clearly distinguished by explanatory glosses, and clear layout and readable type.
Author Bio:
Seong-Chul Shina lecturer at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, and is also the author of a Korean language course developed for Australian secondary schools.

July 11, 2004: The only problem I had with this book is the Korean to English section. It contains both Hangul (South Korean script) and transiltered roman alphabet, both togethor with it's meaning in English. Problem is it arranged according to the alphabetical order of the roman alphabet, not the Hangul script. Most Korean's are more familar with Hangul than the roman alphabet version of their lanuage. So when you hand them this book and ask them to find the words they are trying to communicate with you, they can not find it because it is not arranged to the Hangul order.
