5.0 out of 5 stars Best ever
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2009
I have owned a hard-bound copy of the dictionary in the past and lost it. It is simple, concise and gives the Korean equivilent in both Korean characters (Hangul) and romanized pronunciation. It is the best and most convenient dictionary I have found.

2.0 out of 5 stars Inaccurate, to say the least.

Verified Purchase
We bought this book prior to our moving to Korea. We have tried to use it on a number of occasions. More than half the time, the romanized pronunciation is way off. And frequentlyly the entire word is wrong. On occasion, Koreans don't even know what the word is written in Han-Gul or romanized. I think a person coming to Korea should have a book like this, but it should be one that helps native english speakers better in pronunciation. Also, the words themselves should be accurate. Sometimes the word written is the OPPOSITE of what you're trying to say. For example, the word given for a definiton for the word 'delicious' was actually an equivilent to their word for strange. You can imagine what kind of problems that would make in a restaurant or a person's home. So be careful!
