    About this ebook

    Want to learn more Korean words? Don't worry!

    √Root Korean: A Dictionary of Korean Root Words (Hanja) is here to help YOU!

    How will this book help me learn Korean?

    This book is a Chinese-English-Korean dictionary.

    If you want to know what the word 입구 means, you can search for its components (입 and 구) in this book.

    When you search for the word 입, you'll find that one of its possible meanings is 入 (enter).

    When you search for the word 구, you'll find that one of its possible meanings is 口 (opening).

    Together, 입 and 구 form the word for 'entrance' which is 입구 (入口). You've just learned two Hanja!

    Wait, what are 'Hanja'?

    Hanja are borrowed Chinese characters with Korean pronunciation. They are to Korean as Latin is to English. For example, the Hanja 書 means 'book' and it's pronounced as 서.

    Why should I learn the Hanja?

    1. You can use Hanja to clarify a homonym
     ● For example, the word 눈 could mean 'eye' or 'snow.'
      ○ Write 눈 as 눈(目) when you mean 'eye.'
      ○ Write 눈 as 눈(雪) when you mean 'snow.'

    2. You might see Hanja in a newspaper
     ● A Korean word may be written in Hanja instead of Korean in a formal newspaper article.
      ○ For example, the city Busan (부산) might be written as 釜山 in a formal newspaper article.

    3. Some Hanja appear in multiple words
     ● For example, 電/전/lightning appears in the words
      ○ Electricity/전기/電氣
      ○ Battery/전지/電池
      ○ Electrician/전공/電工

    I'm ready to learn the Hanja! How do I learn them?

    Andrew P. Livera

    Andrew P. Livera is the author of √Root Korean: A Dictionary of Korean Root Words (Hanja) and the developer of the Android app √Root Korean: A Hanja Dictionary. He first studied Korean at the immersive program Federal Service Language Academy (FSLA) hosted by the University of North Georgia (UNG). During college, Andrew studied abroad in the summer of his sophomore year at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea. He graduated with highest distinction from Indiana University Bloomington (IU) with a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and a minor in Psychology. While learning Korean, Andrew noticed that many words shared the same root words. He looked into this and learned about the Hanja. Andrew realized that Hanja are to Korean as Latin is to English. Knowing them allows one to figure out the meaning of new words and make connections between old words. To help others become more fluent in Korean, Andrew wrote the book √Root Korean: A Dictionary of Korean Root Words (Hanja) and developed the app √Root Korean: A Hanja Dictionary.
