Free Kindle My First Book Of Korean Words: An ABC Rhyming Book ebooks Download
My First Book of Korean Words is a beautifully illustrated book that introduces young children to Korean language and culture through everyday words.The words profiled in this book are all commonly used in the Korean language and are both informative and fun for English-speaking children to learn. The goals of My First Book of Korean Words are multiple: to familiarize children with the sounds and structure of Korean speech; to introduce core elements of Korean culture; to illustrate the ways in which languages differ in their treatment of everyday sounds; and to show how, through cultural importation, a single word can be shared between languages.Both teachers and parents will welcome the book's cultural and linguistic notes, and appreciate how the book is organized in a familiar ABC structure. Each word is presented in Hangeul, as well as in its Romanized form.With the help of this book, we hope more children (and adults) will soon be a part of the nearly 80 million people worldwide that speak Korean!

This book is adorable with great pictures and it introduces a little bit of Korean culture, which is great for my young ones because I am Korean American and have not taught Korean as much to my three year old. Now she is showing interest, so I wanted to teach her korean before I send her to Korean school. I bought this book and Tuttle korean for kids flash cards kit. It is working out great. I just wished this book was organized by the korean alphabet not American.
I'm a 2nd generation korean hoping to pass on the little korean I know to my toddlers. i don't think this book will "teach" them much... or at least properly, but they're more into pictures right now than stories anyway. Illustrations are nice.The first page starts with "A" is for "achim"... but I think I was looking for something that would teach my kids the actual korean alphabet... not the english alphabet and the corresponding korean sound...
The author could have selected better Korean words to pair with the English words. An example of a stupid/pointless word selected in the book include "echwi", sneezing noise in Korean. This had me scratching my head... What was the author thinking??... Com'on there are plenty other words out there that could have been selected!! Not educational and suboptimal IMO.
Adorable book for young children. Happy to find a book with a child that looks like the child that will receive it. There are books for Black and Hispanic children, and lots of books with red-heads and blondes. I'm still looking for a similar book with a Native American child that is NOT a Thanksgiving story. If anyone knows of one, let me know. I would also be happy if I could find a Barbie doll that is Asian-American or Native- American that is not a "theme" or international series doll. The last time I checked, Asian Americans and Native American children wear the same clothes as white, black and brown kids. Hmmm, maybe I need to write my own books. Anyway, the book is sweet and has beautiful illustrations. Any minor errors in the Korean words is outweighed by the uniqueness of the book.
the illustrations are very nice and it's a very cute way of adding some new korean vocabulary. You won't speak korean after reading this of course but I think children enjoy the way this book teaches new simple vocab.
Very Disappointed... this book is in no way useful to any real Korean. The so called author is not Korean and the kyubyong Park is a IT professional. My Korean Friends thought this book is so RANDOM and better more useful words would have been more appropriate. Wish I hadnt wasted my $10 dollars.
it's great. it teaches your child 26 basic Korean words, spelled in phonetic english, with little poems to help remember them. Perfect for learning some early words if you don't know how to read Korean letters.There are books that teach the Korean alphabet. this is not one of them. this book is meant for kids who's first language is english, to teach them some beginning Korean.and it's great.
I love studying Korean. Even though this book is written for children, it can help an adult learner with basic words. In language learning, I find that children's books are more basic, fun and colorful than adult methods, which can be complex and dry. This book is great for learners of any age.
