Welcome to A Traveler’s Korean-English Dictionary where I will be creating tables with phrases you can use to learn or to use before and during your visit to South Korea.
Yes, I know there are a lot of Korean-English dictionaries, translators, and other apps that you can use to learn Korean, however, I figured that a categorized dictionary would also be beneficial as you can just jump to whatever you need.
Tables will go from the phrases written in Korean to pronunciation and the English translation.
If I made any mistakes, please do email me jeric@thekoreanvisit.com so I can change them quickly.
NOTE: This page will be updated whenever I blog about Korean words in the blog or if I learn a new one.
