Making Out in Korean: A Korean Language Phrase Book: Making Out Books

Autor Peter Constantine, Gene Baij Revizuit de Laura Kingdon, Chris Backe
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 sep 2014
Making Out in Korean is a fun, accessible and thorough Korean phrasebook and guide to the Korean language as it's spoken in real-life.

Nan neoga joa michigesseo! Uri tto mannalkka?—(I'm crazy about you! Shall we meet again?) Answer this correctly in Korean, and you may be going on a hot date. Incorrectly, and you could be hurting someone's feelings or getting a slap! Korean classes and textbooks tend to spend a lot of time rehearsing for the same fictitious scenarios, but chances are while in Korea you will spend a lot more time trying to make new friends or start new romances—something you may not be prepared for.

If you are a student, businessman or tourist traveling to South Korea or North Korea and would like to have an authentic and meaningful experience, the key is being able to speak like a local. This friendly and easy-to-use Korean phrase book makes this possible. Making out in Korean has been carefully designed to act as a guide to modern colloquial Korean for use in everyday informal interactions—giving access to the sort of catchy Korean expressions that aren't covered in traditional language materials. As well as the Romanized forms (romanji), each expression is given in authentic Korean script (hangul), so that in the case of difficulties the book can be shown to a native Korean-speaker. In addition, easy-to-use phonetic spellings of all Korean words and phrases are given. For example "How are you?"—annyeonghaseyo? is also written as anh-nyawng-hah-seyo?

This Korean phrasebook includes:
  • A guide to pronouncing Korean words correctly.
  • Explanations of basic Korean grammar, such as, word order, questions, and formal vs. informal tenses.
  • Complete Korean translations including Korean Script (hangul).
  • Useful and interesting notes on Korean language and culture.
  • Lots of colorful, fun and useful expressions not covered in other phrasebooks.

Titles in this unique series of bestselling phrase books include: Making Out in Chinese, Making Out in Indonesian, Making Out in Thai, Making Out in Korean, Making Out in Hindi, Making Out in Japanese, Making Out in Vietnamese, Making out in Burmese, Making Out in Tagalog, Making Out in Hindi, Making Out in Arabic, Making Out in English, More Making Out in Korean, and More Making Out in Japanese.

Recenzii

"A funny phrase book. The difference of this one from the other phrase books out there is that it focuses on slangs - specifically relationships/romance slangs." --Mykoreancorner.wordpress.com blog

"Making Out in Korean -- Funny book title there huh? What can you learn from here? A bunch of funny phrases, curses and umm yeah." --Lyrynne.wordpress.com blog

"One of the things that I most like about the books is that they include the English translations of the phrases as well as the sentences and words in the writing system of the language alongside the transliteration. This is great both for those who are interested in a more conversational approach and for those interested in more in-depth learning." --Eurolinguiste
