“Books to Span the East and West”
Tuttle Publishing was founded in 1832 in the small New England town of Rutland, Vermont
[USA]. Our core values remain as strong today as they were then—to publish best-in-class
books which bring people together one page at a time. In 1948, we established a publishing
outpost in Japan—and Tuttle is now a leader in publishing English-language books about the
arts, languages and cultures of Asia. The world has become a much smaller place today and
Asia’s economic and cultural influence has grown. Yet the need for meaningful dialogue and
information about this diverse region has never been greater. Over the past seven decades,
Tuttle has published thousands of books on subjects ranging from martial arts and paper
crafts to language learning and literature—and our talented authors, illustrators, designers and
photographers have won many prestigious awards. We welcome you to explore the wealth of
information available on Asia at www.tuttlepublishing.com.

The Smaller Chili Pepper Is Hotter!
This traditional proverb means “good things come in small packages,” and seems to fit
Korea perfectly. As a small East-Asian nation with growing status in the world, Korea has
much to offer. We are proud of the many Koreans who are doing their best in their chosen
field. Their hard work is paying off. It is perhaps thanks to them that you have become
interested in Korea and in learning the Korean language. Although it may be a challenging
tongue for some, your passion for Korean culture and language too will pay off.
As with all foreign language learning, it is important to speak with a certain cultural
awareness, not just to swap words or sentences in one language for another. I have
written this book with this point in mind, and have presented Korean sentences using
polite language forms as much as possible, and making sure each sentence is the proper
way to express yourself in a particular situation.
You can’t learn everything about Korea overnight, but we have included a lot of tips
throughout the book about aspects of the country’s culture, which will help you feel more
confident and knowledgeable when talking with Korean people. You’ll also find online
audio files at the link on page 9 with recordings of all key language in the book to help
you achieve correct pronunciation. I hope these will be helpful to you.
Which brings me to another Korean saying, “Even a one-thousand-li road begins with a
single step,” the equivalent of “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” in
English. Whatever you do, start with a small step. And keep learning!
Special thanks to my friend Colin who always helps actively regardless of the time
difference! Your help is always appreciated. And to my daughter Christine who grew up
as my English helper, thank you. She was proud to help with this work. Also,I would like
to thank my publisher for their efforts in getting this book published. Finally, I give all my
glory to God, who is always the reason for my life.
In this book you’ll find some of the most commonly used Korean expressions, to help you
with daily communication and to lay the foundation for your Korean language learning.
Korean pronunciation by way of the Roman alphabet is not a perfect match but is
helpful nonetheless. The contents of this book are romanized to mirror standard
Korean pronunciation as closely as possible, to help beginners speak confidently.
