Would you like to know a secret tip for learning Korean?

Get a good Korean-English print dictionary and read it. I like "Dong-a's Prime." Two great things about reading a dictionary is that you don't have to look things up, and you don't have to start from the beginning. It is perfect for those long bathroom breaks.

Everything in a Korean-English dictionary is worth learning, if your plan is to become fluent in Korean. There is so much more in a Korean-English dictionary than many people may realize. For example, you might know the first definition of a word in the dictionary, but do you know its second, third, fourth, or fifth definitions? Are you paying attention to the words and phrases in the backets […] of a definition? Are you paying attention to the word's Chinese characters? If you are not, then you missing a great deal of information.
