[books] The first Korean dictionary for my kid

Title : 이야기가 있는 어린이 첫 한글 사전

("The first Korean dictionary for my kid")

Price : 11,000won

My review :

Two thumbs Up again!!

Personally I love to learn languages with the picture books for babies or kids

instead of with the books for foreign language learners.

Because you can learn a very natural Korean from these picture books.

This book consists of  lots of topics like food, colors, feelings, family, transportation, sports, etc.

You can see the word, the prononciation

(it's very important fact because lots of Korean words are not prounonced as it is written),

 the picture, and an exmple sentence on the page.

I strongly recommend this book to the beginners who want to learn real Korean expressions.

But you have to know how to read Korean alphabets at least before you start this book.

#2 : "Good night, sweet dreams!" in Romantic Korean

Today's Romantic Korean topic : Good night

Casual expression is  잘자! [jal-ja]
So, "my baby, good night" in Korean is 애기, 잘자.[Eki, jal-ja]
And you just add 요, it's polite expression 잘자요! [jal-ja-yo]

After we say 잘자[jal-ja], 잘자요[jal-ja-yo] , then the morning came. We want to ask my 애기 "Did you sleep well?"
And it's Super easy. Did you sleep well? in Korean 잘 잤어? [Jal-ja-seo]
And answer, "Yes, I slept well" is exactly the same but the tone goes down. 잘 잤어? [Jal-ja-seo]
You see? If the tone goes up, it's question. if the tone goes down it's a statement.

OK, listen to the dialogue and repeat after me.

애기[e-ki], 사랑해[sa-rang-hae]. 보고싶어[bo-go-shi-po].
잘자[jal-ja]!
Did you sleep well? 잘 잤어?[jal-ja-seo]
Yes, I slept well. 응, 잘 잤어.?[jal-ja-seo]
