Ebook A guide to Korean characters: Reading and writing Hangul and Hanja (Second revised edition) - Bruce K. Grant

This book was designed as a guide for those who wish to learn written Korean. It presents for the first time in English the information necessary to read and write hangiil, the Korean alphabet, and the 1,800 Chinese characters taught in Korean schools. A Guide to Korean Characters contains simplified charts explaining hang5l and models showing exactly how to write each of the 1,800 Basic Characters. Sam- ple vocabulary words, selected on the basis of frequency of use, are included for each character. This handbook also functions as a character dictionary since its entries are ar- ranged in stroke-count order and it contains both a radical and a phonetic.
