3.7.13

Bought these books during my recent (GRAD!) trip to Korea.
Though i'm not even sure of whether to take the TOPIK advanced level paper this october/next april/not at all, hope these books will suffice my preparation/learning to some extent.

From Bottom to Top: 외국인을 위한 한국어 문법 연습, TOPIK 한국어능력시험 완벽 대비 어휘(고급), Dictionary of Korean Idioms 한국어 관용어 사전.

1. 외국인을 위한 한국어 문법 연습:
Saw both familiar and alien grammar terms in this contents page. Hope the alien ones are not all 예스러운 표현들이.. ㅠ

2. TOPIK 한국어능력시험 완벽 대비 어휘(고급)
 
Looks like half of the contents of the book will overlap or be found in the next.

3. Dictionary of Korean Idioms 한국어 관용어 사전
Opened the book randomly and saw the famous proverb: 서당개 삼 년이면 풍월을 읆는다.
Reminds me of its alternate... 식당 개 삼년이면 라면을 끓인다.. ㅎ

  1. Thank you for showing a page of Dictionary of Korean Idioms. It seems like a good reference book with literal translation and sample dialogs.

    1. Thanks for the comment~ This dictionary is indeed a really good tool for learning Korean 관용어! 한국어를 배우고 있는 인도네시아 사람들을 위한 페이스북 페이지를 운영하시는 님이 정말 대단하십니다. ^^

  2. Thank you very much for introducing good books to prepare for the Advanced Topik. ^^ The dictionary of Korean Idioms seems very useful, but a little dry and hard to study. I often study the book called "살아있는 관용어", "살아있는 속담", "살아있는 사자성어". In those books, they present a story or conversation related to that idiom/ proverbs..... Then they have many examples, exercises and fun activities to practice. Those books are very interesting to study ^^
