John & Mac et al.: Real American English Picture Dictionary
Turn common Konglish into Real English! Learn the English for every object you see! Engrave English words you were once scrambling to memorize firmly into your brain with pictures! Is your child using real English? They may have been exposed to and learned English as early as toddlers, but when they actually meet and converse with foreigners, communication often falls apart, doesn't it? It is the same for our children. This is because, having been born and raised in Korea, Korean-style English—so-called Konglish—unconsciously slips out! You thought you knew a little bit because you were exposed to English early on, but the truth is, it really is just a little! As long as you live in Korea, the reality is that Konglish inevitably becomes a natural part of your speech. Now, is "SNS" an English word used in the United States? No, it is a word used only in Korea. In the U.S., it is used as "social media." Then what about manicure? You should say "nail polish," not "manicure." What about the soda that clears your head with just one sip? You should say "seven up" or "sprite," not "cider," to get the soda we know. As such, consciously or unconsciously, we are naturally adopting Konglish, a form of Korean-style English, as the standard language. Brothers John Mac and Teacher Yoo Sera mentioned that they have seen many students in Korea who want to speak English well and actually do, yet mix in Konglish when they speak. Knowing full well that if this habit is not corrected early in life, it becomes much harder to fix later, they wrote this book for such students. To communicate well, knowing vocabulary is paramount, isn't it? “A picture is worth a thousand words.
